Illustrative Handbook of General Surgery



The variety of surgical operations, most of them common surgical procedures, are accompanied by accurate photographs of inter-operative anatomy for an immediate reference prior to the operation.
Illustrative Handbook of General Surgery 2e is the perfect go-to reference guide for any medical student or resident wishing to look up a surgical procedure on the go. A range of less commonly performed surgeries are also described to allow for both faculty, residents and students as well as those in private practice to have the best overview in this one book.
