Description
This book does not attempt to rival major surgical textbooks, but draws together a collection of basic information that is not available elsewhere. "Clinical Surgery in General" provides a transition in knowledge between the basic sciences and clinical practice. The continuing support of the Royal College of Surgeons ensures that the new edition will be included as a set text in their MRCS-STEP distance-learning programme.
