Surgery A Case Based Clinical Review 2015th Edition

Surgery: A Case-Based Clinical Review offers a comprehensive yet user-friendly approach to understanding surgical diseases, integrating multiple teaching formats into a single resource.

The book begins with a case-based structure, presenting real-world scenarios that highlight the most common conditions encountered during a surgical rotation. Each case outlines classic history and physical exam findings, followed by targeted questions and answers that reinforce key aspects of diagnosis, differential diagnosis, workup, and management—perfect for surgical rounds and exam preparation.

Key figures, tables, and algorithmic flowcharts visually enhance learning, while special sections address controversial topics in diagnosis and treatment, as well as common pitfalls that may challenge less experienced clinicians. The text concludes with a robust set of multiple-choice questions in a surgery shelf/USMLE format, complete with detailed explanations.

Developed from 20 years of Socratic teaching by a nine-time Golden Apple Award-winning educator at UCLA School of Medicine, this book is an invaluable resource for medical students on surgical rotations, interns, physician assistant students, nursing students, and nurse practitioners.
