- Patient-centred in line with contemporary curricula.
- Realistic patient case-studies engage students and ground their knowledge in a clinical context.
- Provides detailed explanations of why the surgical patient may display certain symptoms and signs, helping the reader link history and examination to underlying pathology.
- Structure of content follows how a patient presents and is managed; this logical framework helps the student to learn and understand diagnosis and treatment as it really happens.
- Colour clinical photographs clarify theory and allow easy identification of specific surgical conditions.
Surgical knowledge is needed by a medical student to pass exams one day, to save a life the next. Surgery, presents the essential knowledge that a medical student needs to not only achieve academic success, but also to be competent on the wards as a newly-qualified doctor.
Surgery: an Oxford Core Text offers a fresh alternative to the traditional encyclopaedic style of existing surgery texts by taking a patient-centred approach and using clinical scenarios to anchor surgical knowledge in an applied clinical context. It concentrates on the most common or serious conditions, dividing the
content into two parts: clinical conditions, and hospital care.
Part one examines the clinical conditions that a general and vascular surgeon commonly encounters within their practice. Chapters are grouped by sub-speciality and, where appropriate, anatomy.
Part two presents all aspects of the hospital care of patients with with surgical conditions with which a newly qualified doctor must be familiar. It addresses pre-operative preparation, anaesthesia, and routine post-operative care and complications.
Medical students must make the most of their study time; Surgery: an Oxford Core Text incorporates numerous features to make learning as effective as possible.
- Each section begins with a clinical
scenario in which a 'typical' case is presented, accompanied by an explanation of the mechanism behind the findings.
- The clinical key-points of each major condition is summarised under each scenario.
- 'Fast facts' summary boxes contain the key elements to remember - an ideal tool for quick and effective revision.
Surgery: an Oxford Core Text reflects current teaching methods and approaches to present the student with a highly readable and memorable core textbook that will continue to be indispensable to the junior doctor. This text will also appeal to specialist nurses and other health professionals that require an accessible yet authoritative account of the common diseases and important issues in surgery.
Readership: Medical students studying surgery (years three to five). This will also be of interest to Junior doctors and surgical nurses.

"Throughout the book, the readability is excellent. I do not habitually read textbooks for enjoyment, more as a point of reference, but when going through this text, I found it very easy to handle. It was informative whilst remaining at a level I understood, and without being scientific to the point of unintelligibility" - Richard Hutchinson, Imperial College School of Medicine.
"In general I think the material is very good. The patient based approach to each section is very readable and presents core information that I think will be very useful both as a PRHO and to get me through my exams." - Tom Button, Medical Student, Selywn College, Cambridge.
