Description
The popular series - A Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice –
provides senior surgical trainees with a concise learning and
revision source, and the practising surgeon with a regular update in
a particular sub-specialty. Each volume in the series gives a current
summary of the key topics within the specialty and concentrates on
recent developments. As in the previous edition, evidence-based
practice is indicated where appropriate - icons are used throughout
the books to highlight sections of text and key references which are
considered to be associated with reasonable evidence, i.e. are
supported by randomized clinical trials, systematic literature
reviews, meta-analysis or observational studies.
Key Features
• A consistent approach is used across the complete series thus
ensuring that information is presented in a standard format
• Each volume gives an up-to-date and concise summary of the key
topics within the specialty, thus making them ideal as a
learning/revision source for senior surgical trainees or as a rapid
reference for consultants
• Evidence-based practice is identified throughout each book in a
consistent style.
