Product Description:
Now in its Third Edition, this reference work focuses on the physiologic mechanisms important to the practice of surgery. It smoothly integrates chapters that are contributed by high profile educators, all experts in their fields, who assist in preparing surgical residency curricula. Easy to read, organized and well illustrated, the clinical information contained therein is used only to illustrate the application of basic science as it relates to practice. A new topic to this edition is physiologic changes associated with aging. Eight additional major revisions to this edition include shock, nutrition, oncology, pulmonary, digestive, hematology, orthopaedics, and anesthesia.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent basic science reference for the resident surgeon!
This book is a perfect reference book in surgically relevant physiology. Given the upcoming change in the ABSITE to emphasize basic sciences for the 1st and 2nd year resident, this is good addition to the library of a junior surgical resident.

Rating:  - Basic Sciences
Purely a basic science perspective to surgery. If you are weak in this area, then it might be what you need. It is not designed as a clinical text. It is dense, slow to read, and a great sedative, but honestly, it is beneficial if you need to touch up you basic science fund of knowledge.
