Grace Pierce A., Borley Neil R. Surgery at a Glance

5th edition. — Wiley-Blackwell, 2013. — 209 p. - (At a Glance)Surgery at a Glance continues to be a very popular text with medical students and others who study surgery. In full colour, the book, in keeping with the At a Glance series in general, has a very user-friendly layout and is easy to read. A key feature of Surgery at a Glance is its division into clinical presentations and surgical diseases. Thus, in one volume is combined the ways that patients present with surgical problems and the surgical diseases that underlie those presentations. Fourteen years on we are delighted to present the revised and updated fifth edition of Surgery at a Glance. The new edition contains some additions. In response to feedback from medical students we have added four new chapters on orthopaedics as well as updating the text and illustrations throughout the book. The book retains its colour profile and beautiful illustrations. We have had lots of help and suggestions from several people in putting this book together. We would like to thank the many medical students and colleagues who have read the book and given us good advice. Students seem to like this book particularly for revision in preparation for exams. We especially thank the publishing team and illustrators at Wiley-Blackwell for their hard work in bringing this beautifully presented book to completion. We believe that the ffth edition of Surgery at a Glance is an excellent book and we hope that this text will continue to help students understand surgery.
