The third edition of this best-selling text retains the problem-oriented (rather than disease-based) structure that has made it so useful for medical students and those studying for a surgical career. Throughout, it emphasizes the full understanding of how a diagnosis is made and why a particular treatment is used, in step with teaching trends in today's medical schools. It includes information on epidemiology, disease prevention, and the provision of health care, relating the community aspects of surgical problems to etiology, disease prevention, and primary care. It also explains the pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases and their management, helping bridge the gap between basic medical science and clinical problems.
