Essential Surgery Problems Diagnosis & Management by Quick

Essential Surgery is a comprehensive and highly illustrated textbook for clinical students as well as a practical manual for junior doctors and those preparing for postgraduate qualifications in surgery. The unique feature of the book is its problem-oriented nature as distinct to the traditional disease-based structure.This surgical textbook is substantially different from most other traditional competitors on the market. The differences are:the book attempts to explain the pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases and of their management - this helps bridge the gap between the basic medical sciences and clinical problems. Increasingly this is how the subject is taught with closer integration of the clinical and science components of medical education.the book has a problem-solving rather than a disease-oriented approach to diagnosis and treatment. This reflects current teaching trends, which emphasise the full understanding of how a diagnosis is made and why a particular treatment is used. Nonetheless not all surgery can be taught entirely in this way and so descriptions of individual diseases have also been included in a more conventional manner.the book includes information about epidemiology, disease prevention and the provision of health care. It tries to relate the community aspects of surgical problems to aetiology, disease prevention and primary care.the book contains outlines of common surgical operations, to enable students and junior doctors to explain operations to patients and to allow them to participate intelligently in the operating department, as well as giving them an understanding of how to prevent complications.includes a major section on accident surgery related to the general surgeon.* Adopts a problem-solving approach - in line with current teaching trends* Extensive use of illustration material - emphasises the important concepts* Now uses colour throughout - attractive book to the eye* High-quality X-rays and clinical photographs included - these are of typical appearances rather than gross examples of disorders so that the student can see how patients commonly present* Concentrates on the principles of how surgical disorders evolve and the effects of different forms of intervention at various stages
