This bestselling Oxford Handbook has been
thoroughly revised for the new edition to include brand
new chapters on Paediatric Orthopaedics and Common
Surgical Procedures, as well as new presentations,
illustrations, and new anatomy and emergency indexes to
aid quick reference. It is an invaluable tool for junior
surgical trainees, medical students, nursing,
paramedical, and rehabilitation staff.
The
handbook covers the assessment and preparation of the
patient, anaesthesia and critical care, inflammation,
wound healing and infection, and the key components of
general surgical practice, as well as chapters on other
surgical specialties, including plastic, paediatric, and
orthopaedic surgery. There are step-by-step descriptions
of common operative surgical techniques, practical hints
and procedures, and information on signs, symptoms and
rarities. Emergency presentations are clearly identified
for rapid reference and investigations and management
plans are set out in a clear and easy-to-follow way.
Surgically relevant anatomy and physiology has been
expanded for each area, quick reference symbols ensure
the reader is guided to key facts, and there is an
increased focus on evidence-based practice with key
references throughout.
A cut above the rest,
this is the essential guide to clinical surgery and the
surgical specialities.
