Description
ELSEVIER Core Topics In General & Emergency Surgery 6Th Edition by Simon Paterson-Brown and Hugh Paterson
Core Topics in General and Emergency Surgery meets the needs
of surgeons in higher training and practising consultants for a contemporary
and evidence-based account of general surgery in both elective and emergency
situations. It is a practical reference source incorporating the most current
information on recent developments, management issues and operative procedures.
The text is thoroughly referenced and supported by evidence-based
recommendations wherever possible, distinguishing between strong evidence to
support a conclusion, and evidence suggesting that a recommendation can be
reached on the balance of probabilities.
For this Sixth Edition the authorship team across the series
has been expanded to include additional European and World experts, with an
increased emphasis on global practice. Throughout all six volumes the contents
have been extensively revised in line with recently published evidence.
Detailed supportive key references are provided and are also included within
the comprehensive list of references in the accompanying ebook. Links to
recommended online videos have been added where appropriate.

- The Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series
