Essential Surgery is a comprehensive and highly illustrated textbook for
clinical students as well as a practical manual for junior doctors and
those preparing for postgraduate qualifications in surgery. The unique
feature of the book is its problem-orientated nature as distinct to the
traditional disease-based structure.

• Explains the
  pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases and of their management to
  help bridge the gap between the basic medical sciences and clinical
  problems.
  
• Adopts a problem-solving rather than a
  disease-orientated approach to diagnosis and treatment, reflecting
  current teaching trends which emphasise the full understanding of how a
  diagnosis is made and why a particular treatment is used.
  
• Includes
  information about epidemiology, disease prevention and the provision of
  health care, and tries to relate the community aspects of surgical
  problems to aetiology, disease prevention and primary care.
  
• Contains
  outlines of common surgical operations, to enable students and junior
  doctors to explain operations to patients and to allow them to
  participate intelligently in the operating department, as well as giving
  them an understanding of how to prevent complications.
  
• Includes a major section on accident surgery related to the general surgeon.
