Schwartz's principles of surgery

"Written by the world's foremost practitioners and instructors, this landmark reference logically progresses from basic science principles, including topics such as cells, genomics, and molecular surgery, to clinical areas such as the pancreas. From cover to cover, the book reflects a distinctly modern approach to the dissemination of surgical knowledge, providing up-to-date coverage of all key surgical areas, from trauma and transplantation, to neurosurgery. In each chapter, this context is supported by a skill-building presentation that includes boxed key points, detailed anatomical figures, diagnostic and management algorithms, and key references." "For every kind of procedure, this trusted clinical companion helps you meet the sequential demands in the care of surgical patients, leading to the best possible outcomes."--Jacket.
