The Oxford Textbook of Surgery, 2nd Edition provides a comprehensive reference on all aspects of
general surgery, and includes substantial sections on the subspecialties such as orthopedics, pediatric
surgery, neurosurgery, and cardiac surgery. It has been designed for specialist and trainee surgeons
working in any part of the world. The uniques, full-color design of the Textbook has been enhanced for
this edition. There are major new sections on, for example, molecular biology and evidence-based
surgery. Other key sections, written by world authorities, include those on endoscopic surgery, surgical
nutrition, response to injury, the design and interpretation of clinical trials, causes of cancer, vascular
surgery and the selection of surgical trainees. Almost every other section has been rewritten by a new
contributor or heavily revised to reflect new developments and emphases in the field. Like
other Oxford Textbooks there is an emphasis on the 'humane' approach with chapters on counseling
bereaved relatives, pain relief and the care of the dying. An international faculty combine to make this
a unique contribution to the field.
