Dunn's Surgical Diagnosis and Management has become the standard textbook for house surgeons and final year medical students. The book is particularly valued for its consistent structure and practical information. Unlike similar texts, the book gives details of the day-to-day management of patients. The first part of the book covers general surgical management and ward care. The second part deals with the principles of surgical practice including fluid balance, sutures and drains and communicating with relatives and general practitioners.

In summary, this practically based book fills a gap in surgical textbooks that many will have been looking for. I thoroughly recommend it.

This new book is directed towards final year medical students and residents in the surgical wards....

A sound, practical and commonsensical book for serious medical students, housemen and candidates for the FRCS.... strongly recommended. Update. A lifesaver for me when I was a surgical houseman. Sheffield Medical Gazette. British undergraduates are not avid readers of heavy medical texts and desire the essential facts in a succinct and readily digestible form. They will therefore welcome this book, which just fits into a white coat pocket and covers both the diagnosis and treatment of surgical patients.

This unusual combination of authors produces an emphasis that will appeal to housemen and senior house officers. BMJ. I enjoyed the book, and think it achieves successfully its aim of providing practical advice on ward management for house staff. I particularly liked the two introductory chapters; the systematic layout, with similar sub-headings in each section; and the frequent cross-references in the text. Hospital Update. It is concisely written, the emphasis throughout on the practical.... there is little doubt that housemen will find this book of great value. Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
Author Bio
David Dunn died whilst in the process o creating this third edition of Dunn's Surgical Diagnosis and Management. He was as outstanding teacher of surgery. His logical mind saw many ways of providing essential information in an easily digestible format - a great benefit to generations of students at the Cambridge Clinical Medical School and the original basis for this book. His initial training was at Cambridge and St. Bartholomew's Hospital and he returned to Cambridge, firstly as Assistant Director of Research to the Academic Surgical Unit and subsequently to the NHS Consultant staff, to which he was appointed in 1974 and on which he remained until his premature retirement through ill health in 1997. During his twenty-three years as a Consultant he displayed a keen interest in many of the emerging areas of surgical practice; these included transplantation, vascular and paediatric surgery, surgical audit and latterly, and with tremendous success, minimally invasive techniques. His ability to identify likely areas of surgical expansion was uncanny, and few surgeons in modern times have been able to achieve such success in so many different fields. He overall surgical ability stemmed from a very secure basic knowledge. His concise analysis of surgical principles form the cornerstone of this highly successful book, written with Nigel Rawlinson, his former House Surgeon, and now into its third edition. This book will continue to be deservedly popular at Cambridge and at many other Clinical Schools for years to come, and will remain a lasting tribute to its senior author.
