Summary

This book was originally designed to integrate basic science into the clinical content of a surgical residency to match the approach of the first two years of the ABSITE. The Surgical Review offers complete coverage of topics found on the ABSITE, and is also used to study for the written boards and recertification. Each chapter is jointly authored by a resident and an attending at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. More than 300 illustrations complement the text. This edition has been completely updated, and the Table of Contents has been reorganized to match the current exam. The Key Concept summaries have been expanded and moved to the front of each chapter.
