Reviews

"The authors' aim is to produce a concise, didactic account of the common surgical disorders that is both affordable and fits in the pocket. They have achieved this objective admirably. This is a little book that is worth knowing well."

Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England

"If you love surgery and want a recipe for success, or if you're just trying to survive your surgical placements, then do yourself a flavour and pick this book. It's deliciously easy to read which makes it memorable and applicable."
