Decision Making in Clinical Surgery

This book is a concise guide to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of common conditions for trainees.

Divided into 11 sections, the text covers a variety of disorders in different systems of the body – abdomen, anorectal, head and neck, breast, vascular, skin and more.

The book concludes with coverage of surgery for trauma and general care of a surgical patient.

Written in a symptom-based, rather than pathology-based approach, the text is presented in an easy to understand format and features boxes summarising key points for each topic.

This practical guide is authored by Florida-based expert Venkit S Iyer and includes illustrations and tables to assist learning.
