Description
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.
Reviews / Votes
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)More details
