Principles of Surgery: Everything You Need to Know but Were Frightened to Ask!

Description

This little book aims to answer the questions that other surgical texts fail to address. Originally designed for junior surgeons with the Royal College of Surgeons’ examinations in mind, it is, in fact, essential knowledge on the principles of surgery.

The simple question and answer format, well validated and beloved of students, provides easy to remember answers to the questions that frequently arise in surgical practice, for example:

• How does a theatre suction system work?
• How do you prepare an operating theatre list?
• How do you prevent postoperative complications?

Readable, affordable and portable, this cutting edge guide comprises three sections:

• Aspects of pre-operative care –
• The operating theatre environment –
• Postoperative care and complications

Each section is formulated to cover all aspects of surgical practice, to provide a concise text for rapid review and memorisation. It is useful for medical, dental and surgical students revising for examinations.
