| Hardback. 624 pages. Published May 05 |
| Arnold. ISBN 0340814985 |
| Farquharson's textbook has become the classic
textbook for trainee surgeons throughout the world, presenting all the
operations which the trainee surgeon may be expected to undertake, and
discussing the basic techniques available and the reasons for their
application. The techniques are described in sufficient detail to allow a
surgeon who has limited experience to proceed with confidence and safety,
and the text is thus also valuable for surgeons practising in smaller
hospitals where specialised advice may not otherwise be available. This
ninth edition has been fully updated, with many chapters entirely
rewritten and new contributing authors, with particular experience in
sub-specialties such as vascular medicine, orthopaedics and trauma, all of
which overlap with the work of the general surgeon. |

| The long-awaited second edition of the
"Oxford Textbook of Surgery" is a unique contribution to the field. It not
only provides a comprehensive and authoritative reference on all aspects
of general surgery, but also offers substantial sections on subspecialties
such as orthopedics, paediatric surgery, neurosurgery, and cardiac
surgery. It has been designed and written by an international faculty, for
specialist and trainee surgeons working in any part of the world. Key
sections, written by world authorities, include those on endoscopic
surgery, surgical nutrition, response to injury, the design and
interpretation of clinical trials, causes of cancer, vascular surgery, and
the selection of surgical trainees. There are major new sections on, for
example, molecular biology and evidence-based approaches to surgical
decisions. Response to injury, Trauma and shock, Minimally invasive
surgery and Surgical nutrition are covered in much greater detail. Almost
all the other sections have been rewritten by new contributors or heavily
revised to reflect new developments and emphases in the field, and data
from randomized trials. Comprehensive, international, humane The Oxford
Textbooks have found their way into clinics, libraries, and hospital
departments the world over. They have earned praise for their careful
integration of basic science and the best of clinical practice, their
international focus, and not least their exhaustive coverage. Like our
other Oxford Textbooks, this new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Surgery
emphasizes a humane approach, providing chapters on counseling bereaved
relatives, pain relief, and the care of the dying. The full-colour design
of the Textbook has been thoroughly updated and enhanced and the Textbook
should be an essential component of and adornment to the bookshelves of
all surgeons. |

| For over thirty years 'Apley's System' has
been an essential aid for those wishing to understand the structure and
function of the musculoskeletal system, its diseases and its response to
trauma. Its wide readership of postgraduate surgical trainees in general
surgery and orthopaedics, casualty officers, physiotherapists and general
practitioners is evidence of the authors' ability to instruct and inspire.
This new edition echoes its predecessors in explaining Apley's approach to
the orthopaedic patient and provides information on all that is new in
orthopaedics and trauma. Two new co-authors joined Louis Solomon for this
edition, and the book contains many new illustrations. As a reference for
the trainee in orthopaedic surgery or a source for the general surgeon in
training, Apley's System can not be beaten. |

| Elsevier. ISBN 0443101213 |
| This book is a practical manual for a surgeon
about to carry out an operation. It helps the reader to make treatment
decisions, provides a guide to the various stages of the actual operation
and advises on monitoring and management of the patient after the operation.
It is the only operative surgical manual that gives clear guidance on
recognising, avoiding and managing complications or unexpected findings. For
ease of use, each chapter uses standard headings to guide the surgeon
through procedures i.e. Assess, Appraise, Prepare, Access, Assess, Action,
Difficulties, Closure, Aftercare, Complications and their management. To
make the book appropriate for the trainee who needs a compendium textbook,
selected operations outside of general surgery are described. This will help
the surgeon (for example in a smaller hospital) to deal with a wide range of
conditions. The text includes coverage of such areas as resuscitation,
minimal access techniques, arrangements within the operating theatre,
equipment safety precautions, ethics and audit. This new edition has been
revised to the highest standard, describing the operations necessary for the
revised FRCS examination as well as giving coverage of general surgery to
the level of the Intercollegiate Assessment Board Examination in General
Surgery |

| Safe surgery is founded upon accurate knowledge
of the appropriate anatomy, and the purpose of this book is to bring anatomy
into the operating theatre to describe operations principally in terms of
the anatomy concerned. 'As much as possible, I have written this book from a
surgical point of view with the emphasis on the anatomy as it relates to a
particular operation. Although the book should prove useful for most
surgical trainees, it was the practising general surgeon whom I kep
uppermost in my mind |
