Surgery: Diagnosis and Management by Nigel Rawlinson

Surgery: Diagnosis and Management is a concise pocket-sized book for use in the day-to-day management of surgical patients. This highly respected, popular guide (previously Dunn's Surgical Diagnosis and Management ) is perfect for on-the-ward reference. This 4th edition has been fully updated. It is particularly valued for its consistent structure in conveying practical information. It also provides a comprehensive foundation for those contemplating a surgical career.

Part two (Chapters 3-15) deals with specific surgical conditions and for each includes: A brief description of the condition, to enable clinical understanding the typical 'pattern' of symptoms and signs at presentation the steps needed to prove the diagnosis the general, operative and post operative management This new 4th edition will prove to be invaluable for the busy junior surgical trainee and clinical medical student.

Surgery Reviews

Rawlinson and Alderson have produced a welcome and very readable revision to one of the best-selling general surgical textbooks. (Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons, July 2010) A respected, popular guide (previously Dunn's Surgical Diagnosis and Management) intended for on-the-ward reference. Fully updated, it will appeal to the busy surgical trainee. (Times Higher Education Supplement, May 2008) Reviews of the previous edition In summary, this practically based book fills a gap in surgical textbooks that many will have been looking for. I thoroughly recommend it. (Guy's 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. (BMJ)
