Summary: core knowledge
Comment: A classic, been out there for as long as our teachers can remember or more, why? cause it gives u the most important points in nearly every thing, it picks a flower from every different flowerbed. it wont expand much on the types of coils used for cerebral aneurysms for example, but will tell you what u need to know about the main title, how to diagnose and general principles of management. it is not for seniors who will most certainly find it deficient. It is a good choice for medical students and surgical residents in there very beginnings but not beyond. This edition has been printed in style, if u have ever passed over the previous ones u could realize the differences.
still though it needs more on managing trauma, and more details regarding laparoscopy. And probably a larger chapter on operative techniques in general. The images are generally good although some of them date back to really old editions.
It really depends on what u want from a book, thats all.

Summary: The classic
Comment: This book is very useful for both medical students and basic surgical residents alike. While the older editions tend to be tedious and frustrating due to the inconsistency in font size and style as well as formatting, newer editions are better. The pictures and illustrations are what made this a classic basic surgical textbook. It explains the fundamentals of basic surgery. It is a good launch pad to cover all aspects of surgery at a core level and allows the reader to head off and search for more specialized text in inspired topics.

Summary: One stop shop for medical students
Comment: This book attempts to be the one stop shop. It goes through from anatomy/physiology -> pathology -> diagnosis -> operative techniques -> postop management.

That is both it's good and bad point.

Good as it succeeds. Bad as it is not big enough to really finish off the job.

However, as a busy medical student looking for concise yet comprehensive treatment of ALL fields of surgery.....this is the book to get. Sabiston and the rest are all too big....unless of course you don't go out much and read it all night.
