Recent Advances in Surgery 29 Paperback

Recent Advances in Surgery 29 is the latest volume in the successful and well-established Recent Advances series.

This title is updated annually, covering the latest trends within surgery and reflecting any changes to the professional examinations for surgeons.

In this edition there are sections for surgery in general, liver and pancreatic surgery, vascular surgery, breast disease and a final chapter that summarizes the leading randomized clinical trials from the preceding year.

Every chapter contains boxes highlighting key points for clinical practice, which are summarized nearly before the reference section. New technologies in vasular surgery are explored including the minimally invasive management of pseudo-aneurysms and endovenous laser therapy.

The randomized clinical trials section brings us up to date with studies that may influence general surgical practice and makes an excellent starting point for further reading. Suitable for experienced medical professionals, as well as students and candidates of the MRCS/AFRCS, this edition reviews the latest trends within surgery and forms a useful update of general surgery for candidates of the Intercollegiate examination. Over 30 contributors, who are recognized experts in their particular field, provide in-depth reviews of important topics relevant to the management of all surgical patients and advancing areas in surgical subspecialties.
