Rapid Surgery (Rapid Series)

In the conception of this book, we envisaged a text presented in a very accessible format covering the major surgical specialties. We have included surgical procedures – something that is lacking in most textbooks. Also included are radiographs of numerous conditions to aid in consolidating learning. The drawings help to visualise difficult concepts, e.g. suturing, amputations.

This pocket revision guide is a must for all medical students preparing for a major exam in clinical surgery or needing a rapid reminder during a clinical attachment.

Rapid Surgery is the sixth title in the new Rapid series and is the ideal companion for medical students and junior doctors, covering key facts in a simple and memorable fashion, using a mnemonic to aid recall. The text contains over 100 common surgical conditions and over 30 practical surgical procedures. The book contains over 35 illustrations and radiographs of numerous conditions to help aid in consolidating memory. Arranged in A-Z format, each topic is covered using the same headings - Definition, Aetiology, Associations / Risk Factors, Epidemiology, History, Examination, Pathology, Investigations, Management, Complications and Prognosis.

The surgical procedures are divided using the headings - Indication, Anatomy, Preoperative Investigations, Procedure, Complications and Prognosis.
