Description
This book is intended to be a practical manual for a surgeon about to carry out an operation. It should help the reader to make treatment decisions, provide a guide to the various stages of the actual operation and advise on monitoring and management of the patient after the operation. For ease of use, each chapter uses standard headings to guide the surgeon through procedures i.e. Assess, Appraise, Prepare, Access, Assess, Action, Difficulties, Closure, Aftercare, Complications and their management. To make the book appropriate for the trainee who needs a compendium textbook, selected operations outside of general surgery are described. This should help the surgeon (for example in a smaller hospital) to deal with a wide range of conditions. The text includes coverage of such areas as resuscitation, minimal access techniques, arrangements within the operating theatre, equipment safety precautions, ethics and audit. This new edition has been revised, describing the operations necessary for the revised FRCS examination as well as giving coverage of general surgery to the level of the Intercollegiate Assessment Board Examination in General Surgery.
