This book does not attempt to rival major surgical
textbooks, but draws together a collection of basic information in a
convenient format. Clinical Surgery in General provides a transition in
knowledge between the basic sciences and clinical practice. Emphasis is
placed on the general principles of surgery rather than on management of
specific conditions and thus this title complements the standard clinical
surgical textbooks. |

| The changes in surgical training have meant
that previously published textbooks may not be appropriate for the new
MRCS/AFRCS examination. This manual has changed considerably in this
edition, which is expressly targeted at the MRCS/AFRCS candidate. Using a
modular style presentation and moving to a patient-centred approach, the
book seeks to provide all the information necessary for the candidate
studying for the "generality of surgery" part of the MRCS/AFRCS. |

| This text aims to cater for the needs of the
FRCS exit exam candidate in general surgery. The book covers all aspects of
those subjects where the general surgeon needs detailed knowledge in order
to carry out the wide remit of the speciality, for example: breast,
endocrine, liver, biliary tract, pancreas, lymph nodes, oesophagus, stomach,
small intestine, colon and rectum, skin and soft tissue, abdominal wall,
hernias and vascular surgery. In addition, those areas where a good working
knowledge is required are covered in less, but adequate, detail
(neurosurgery, head and neck, thoracic surgery, plastic and reconstructive
surgery, urology and transplantation). |

| Surgical trainees need to very rapidly gain a
good understanding of the nature of the diseases they are treating and to
build their own repertoire of surgical operations. They must also pass the
very searching examinations, and there is consequently great pressure,
within a limited time period, to obtain not only experience and training but
also a considerable amount of factual and practical knowledge. Principles of
Surgical Practice builds on the success of Fundamentals of Surgical
Practice, and has been designed to meet the needs of Basic Surgical Trainees
approaching the via part of the Final Assessment, which test their knowledge
of operative surgery, intensive care and pathology. The editors have drawn
upon the experience a team of recognised experts and experienced surgical
trainers to provide their perspective on the various aspects of surgical
management in chapters, presented in a way that makes learning as efficient
as possible but containing sufficient detail to cover all aspects of the
viva examination. Principles of Surgical Practice is indispensable to the
Basic Surgical Trainee, and will also provide the established surgeon and
other healthcare professionals working in the surgical environment with an
overview of the key principles underpinning modern surgical practice. |

| This is an overview of the disease processes
encountered in surgical practice and the clinical principles underlying the
optimal management of the surgical patient. The content covers the relevant
anatomy, pathology, and scientific background, as well as describing
clinical techniques. The book, with contributions from general surgeons as
well as specialists, is organized to cover some core aspects of surgery,
encountered in many specialist areas, such as trauma, cancer and sepsis,
before moving on to look at the detailed and specific management of each of
the key organ systems in the body. The content has been selected to provide
a knowledge base and educational companion for the surgical trainee. The
speciality sections have been selected to complement the teaching modules
produced by the UK Royal Colleges of Surgeons for the AFRCS/MRCS Diploma.
The book will also be relevant for all surgical trainees in other geographic
territories, as well as junior consultant surgeons in practice. |

| Essential General Surgical Operations has
been specifically produced to meet the needs of the basic surgical trainee
who is looking for an operative text. Adapted from the best-selling parent
title, General Surgical Operations, Essential General Surgical Operations
clearly covers all the surgical operations that basic trainees need to be
familiar with to pass the MRCS exam. The highly-praised features of
General Surgical Operations have been retained, including the clear,
direct writing and illustrative style, and boxes which emphasise and give

text has been rewritten where necessary to ensure that the needs of the
basic trainee are clearly met, and substantially streamlined so that the
key operations are covered in the exact level of detail required. |

| The viva component of the MRCS examination is
traditionally the most feared and elusive part of the whole exam.
Contained within the syllabus of core and system modules there are
favourite examination topics which are more commonly asked than others.
This new book covers all these popular subjects and illustrates them with
sample viva-style questions. The answers give the candidate guidance on
how to respond to these effectively and on what is required to pass the
exam. Covers the six major subject areas of the MRCS viva exam: . applied
surgical anatomy . operative surgery . clinical pathology . principles of
surgery . applied physiology . critical care There is also coverage of the
new communication skills section, designed to test the candidate's ability
to communicate with patients and supply information to colleagues. This
new book has been written to aid any candidate in preparing to sit a
surgical viva, and will be of value to MRCS candidates as well as students
for undergraduate surgical finals and surgical registrars prior to the
exit examination. |
