Simple, easy to use. Great reference. Gives you algorithms on various topics from all aspects of surgery with brief explanations of the important points. Great for reviewing the work-up for specific surgical issues as well as a great way to review topics for boards. Don't throw away though, keep this reference in your office!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best resource for surgical students and residents
Surgical knowledge is based on very simple and specific objectives. Indications for a surgery, work/up, tests, the procedure, and follow up. This book takes key concepts and explains these steps in detail, then gives a clear and easy-to-follow algorithm. It is perfect. In my clerkship, this book made getting pimped a piece of cake. Just follow the steps. My senior resident also studied from this book. A must have!
