Pleasant Reading!

This book provides a great review in all subjects of surgery in a concise way. The reading is easy and pleasant. Although, the last edition is from 1994, it's been still up-to-date. Great purchase!

Not quite as good as its medical counterpart

I think this book might be helpful for those who are looking for a book that gives you the surgical point of view of the disease, without too much detail on surgical procedures and treatment. Though it takes its time to explain a little bit about the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms of the disease, etc. , it's more like a book to start with.

What you need to understand surgery in a concise way

Surgery, like everything in medicine, has a language of it's own. And when you, as a medical student, get to the surgical wards, you'll need a book to understand what is going on around you. Written in a pleasant way, it is divided in three practical sections: Surgery's general principles, general surgery and surgical specialities, just like in med school.
They give you a refreshment on basic sciences concepts critical for understanding surgical pathologies and then they tell you essentials of diagnosis and treatment of such pathologies.
Therefore, I recommend the book for medical students and General Practitioners who will need to answer the "Should I call the surgeon ? "question. Not very good descriptions on surgical procedures, and I would like it to have better illustrations, but I think it's worth the money.

Excellent book for detailed information!

I used this book on my surgery rotation as a third year medical student. Even though I have no desire to go into surgery, I plan to go into a specialty that deals with patients with general medical problems. Having a comprehensive surgical text will help me better to manage problems and know when to refer to my surgical colleagues. During my rotation, the book was obviously not my primary source of study (it's too big to get through), but it was an excellent reference book to read about my patients, surgeries, lectures, and avoid being pimped by attendings.

I recommend this book to any third year student for his or her rotation, those going into surgery, or those in general practice looking to see things from a surgical perspective; it's really a good reference book for anyone.

A Must Have

A well written and edited book. Contains material that is quite focussed and essential, specially for those preparing for examinations. Although written more than seven years back it contains facts that some of the very popular books mentioned only lately in their recent editions.

That it is not coming out with another edition is a serious drawback. For this reason it is fast loosing the edge it has over other books.

Other shortcoming is lack of colored illustrations and photographs.

reviews: page 1, 2

Current Surgical Diagnosis & Treatment covers over 1,000 diseases and disorders managed by surgeons. It encompasses general surgery and the surgical subspecialties and emphasizes quick recall of major diagnostic features and succinct descriptions of disease processes. This major revision and updating features a new chapter on "The Metabolic & Neuroendocrine Responses to Trauma & Operations," the latest on minimally invasive surgical techniques, and particularly extensive changes to chapters on oncology, colon and rectal surgery, plastic surgery, vascular surgery, and cardiothoracic surgery.
