Summary

Based on the critically-acclaimed Surgery: Basic Science and Clinical Evidence, Essential Practice of Surgery: Basic Science and Clinical Evidence is a companion handbook featuring fifty-seven of the most commonly-referenced chapters from the larger text -- all edited and abridged into concise formats for quick reference. Continuing to emphasize the evidence-based practice of surgery, each condensed chapter retains key elements from the parent text and provides the best available evidence from the literature. Chapters reflect the essential topics in the successful management of surgical disease, including pre-, peri-, and post-operative care of the surgical patient, gastrointestinal and abdominal disease, endocrine disease, cancer, transplantation, vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and pediatric surgery. This portable, softcover text is ideal for busy medical students, surgical residents, and practicing surgeons who need access to authoritative, evidence-based information in the clinic or at the bedside.
