Now in its 25th edition, the
content has been thoroughly revised and updated while retaining its
traditional strengths. Under the stewardship of the eminent editorial
team, comprising two editors with experience gained over previous editions
and a third editor new to this edition, and in response to reader
feedback, the content has been sub-divided into parts to ensure a logical
sequence and grouping of related chapters throughout while the text
features enthusiastically received in the last edition have been retained.
The new edition opens with sections devoted to the underlying principles
of surgical practice, investigation and diagnosis, and pre-operative care.
These are followed by chapters covering all aspects of surgical trauma.
The remainder of the book considers each of the surgical specialties in
turn, from elective orthopaedics through skin, head and neck, breast and
endocrine, cardiothoracic and vascular, to abdominal and genitourinary.

|
| 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 orthopaedics, 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 counselling 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. |

| Since the publication of the
first edition in 1959, Apley's System of Orthopaedics and Fractures has
been an essential textbook for those seeking to understand the structure
and function of the musculoskeletal system, its diseases and its response
to trauma. The book's success was initiated by the late Alan Apley's
skills as a teacher, and the care and forethought that he brought to the
presentation of the content. The current authors have developed and
extended this foundation to produce a thoroughly modern textbook of
orthopaedic surgery, bringing complementary expertise while retaining the
book's characteristic philosophy and approach. They are joined by a
selection of expert contributors from around the world, who add material
on a wide variety of subjects including radiology, open fractures,
neuromuscular disorders and inflammatory arthropathies. This 9th edition
echoes its predecessors in following Apley's approach to the orthopaedic
patient. As before, the work is divided into three sections: General
Orthopaedics, Regional Orthopaedics and Fractures and Joint Injuries. The
material has been fully updated and revised, including the replacement of
the majority of the photographs, giving this edition a modern and relevant
feel. |

General Surgical Operations is a highly-praised and
comprehensive textbook of operative surgery. It is a practical manual aimed
at the surgeon who is about to carry out an operation, rather than just a
description of the principles suitable for an examiner. This book is aimed
primarily at a trainee studying for the UK and Ireland Intercollegiate FRCS
and equivalent examinations around the world. It is, however, also intended
as a vade mecum for a trained surgeon anywhere, who is about to carry out an
infrequently performed procedure, perhaps in emergency conditions. It will
therefore serve as a useful reference manual for every surgeon.
This is a 'What to do' book. Using it the reader can aspire to gain
diagnostic, decision making and operative surgical competence with
confidence. |

| 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 kept
uppermost in my mind |

| A guide to all aspects of emergency surgery
aimed at those doctors who may not have access to the facilities of a modern
up-to-date hospital. In these situations, this book has become a valuable
source of information and advice. Each chapter is written by a contributor
with expertise in a particular field. The whole text is well
illustrated throughout. As in previous editions the result is again a
definitive vade mecum for the surgeon 'on the spot'. This edition includes
new sections on fluid balance, nutrition and paediatric surgery.
Existing sections have been revised and updated. |
