Synopsis

First Prize in Surgery BMA Medical Book Awards & Joint Winner of The Richard Asher Prize at the 2002 Society of Authors and Royal Society of Medicine Medical Book Awards. This unique new book is designed to facilitate the comparison between normal and abnormal anatomy, both on the surface and, by the use of radiological imaging, within the body. It covers all common problems that present to the surgeon which can be detected by eye, ear or feel. It serves as a starting point to help understand how anatomy, clinical history and examination can be used to point at the diagnosis in patients with surgical conditions.Using a superb series of color photographs and radiological images, many with interpretative line drawings overlays, the book illustrates the core anatomical knowledge and shows its relevance to the clinical history and examination of patients with surgical conditions which the student or trainee surgeon will encounter. The text is short, yet comprehensive, and is closely linked to the visual presentation of the surgical disease.

Media Reviews
I found this book to be concise, useful, colourful, and attractive in its presentation and thoughtful in its content. The excellent diagrams, whith detail where to find clinically useful landmarks and pathologies, are also useful to give an idea of investigations that should be performed to narrow down the differential diagnosis arising from the history and the examination. It is ideal for medical students doing their surgery attachments. BMA Reviewer
strength of this book lies in its ability to deliver its educational messages with the ample use of high quality diagrams and clinical pictures...this book is an easy read, is very well presented and is suited to those who wish to update themselves primarily on the value of applied anatomy in common surgical conditions.
