  Providing a unique approach to the practice of surgery, this new edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Surgery continues in the tradition of providing a succinct overview of the principles, techniques and procedures of surgery. The content has been fully revised to meet the requirements of modern surgical practice. It is written in the very successful concise style of the handbook series, providing an accessible pocket reference for medical students, housemen, junior surgical trainees, nursing, paramedical and rehabilitation staff. The coverage includes the assessment and preparation of the patient, anaesthesia and critical care, inflammation, wound healing and infection, the key components of general surgical practice as well as chapters on other surgical specialties, including plastic, paediatric and orthopaedic surgery. There are also step by step descriptions of some common operative surgical techniques, practical hints and procedures, and a chapter on signs, symptoms and rarities.

  This text presents a succinct account of current surgical practice and general operative surgery, useful for medical students, housemen, and junior surgical trainees. Each topic is dealt with in a single page with alternate pages left blank to accommodate notes. There are sections on anatomy and general, plastic, vascular, paediatric, endocrine, and orthopaedic surgery. Sections on practical procedures and operative surgical techniques are included with illustrations to provide detail of and ready reference to the more commonly used form of techniques and procedures. In addition, aspects of surgical philosophy, ethics, and the surgeon and the law are discussed. Important subjects like surgery and the Pill, stopping smoking before surgery, and surgery and myocardial infarction are discussed. These are not the traditional fare of most surgical texts but are essential knowledge for surgeons in the the perioperative care of their patients.
