Schwartz´s Principles of Surgery

Written by the world's foremost practitioners and instructors, this landmark reference logically progresses from basic science principles, including topics such as cells, genomics, and molecular surgery, to clinical areas such as the pancreas. Importantly, the book is carefully written to ensure that SCORE® (Surgical Council on Resident Education) topics are covered in depth and are easy to locate within the text.

Schwartz’s Principles of Surgery, Eleventh Edition reflects a distinctly modern approach in the dissemination of surgical knowledge, providing up-to-date coverage of all key surgical areas, from trauma and transplantation, to neurosurgery. In each chapter, the content is supported by learning aids (many new to this edition) that include boxed key points, pearls and decision-making boxes, detailed anatomical figures, diagnostic and management algorithms, an abundance of completely up-to-date tables, and key references.
