Principles and Practice of Surgery

Principles and Practice of Surgery is the surgical companion textbook to the international medical bestseller Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine. It is a comprehensive textbook for both the surgical student and trainee, guiding the reader through key core surgical topics which are encountered throughout an integrated medical curriculum as well as in subsequent clinical practice. Although sharing the same format and style as Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine, this text is complete in itself, thus enabling the student to appreciate both the medical and surgical implications of diseases encountered in surgical wards.

"Although a book for medical students, it is likely that medical students who use this during their clerkship will find it of continuing use during residency and beyond...This is a nice compact textbook that, while designed for the U.K. and an international readership, will be of value to any students in the U.S. who consult it."
