Emergency Abdominal Surgery is a battleground for the surgeon - providing character-building experiences, and opportunities for triumph and disaster. In the third edition of this 'simple' book, emergency abdominal surgery is discussed in an informal and no nonsense fashion - as practiced in the 'trenches' of the ER and the OR. The preferred approach for a given situation is discussed in context; it has to fulfill certain prerequisites: save lives, decrease morbidity, be cost effective and be performed correctly.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews of the third edition:
"The title describes this book perfectly. This is a no-nonsense approach to the sometimes very difficult situations in general surgery. . The authors describe their experiences in tough situations of patient care for residents and young attendings. . the historical quotes add a good amount of insight and interest. I have not come across another book like this. . Focused on the real situations that surgeons come across, the book answers the questions that are not addressed in the major textbooks." (Robert A. Hanfland, Doody's Review Service, September, 2010)
