In addition to covering the major types of surgery, the book contains chapters on the management of acutely ill patients and surgical patients, which is of vital importance for the reader.Instead of presenting the information in seemingly endless, lengthy text, the book is thoughtfully and carefully structured so that it contains only the essential knowledge.
