This comprehensive new edition provides optimal preparation for all-level surgical examinations, and provides completely updated reviews of the latest scientific advances that improve surgical understanding and clinical management. The first section focuses on basic science and the second section focuses on the clinical science of surgery. Many new contributors author the chapters and nearly 50% are rewritten. New features include a chapter on Outcomes Based Surgery and a section on Magnetic Resonance Angiography. Over 2,400 illustrations and over 500 tables support the text. A CD-ROM version is included with the textbook and contains over 2,000 review questions.
