ANZ Journal of Surgery
this is an easy-to-read text … most general surgeons and advanced general surgery trainees would benefit from owning a copy.

British Journal of Surgery, March 2004
It is still essential reading for those sitting the UK Intercollegiate Examination and good 'continuing medical education' for the rest of us. The standard and unique style of this series will remain popular for trainers and trainees.

The Royal Society of Medicine Press is delighted to publish Recent Advances in Surgery 26, which is part of the successful and well established Recent Advances series (previously published by Churchill Livingstone).

This title is updated annually, covering the latest trends within surgery and reflecting any changes to the professional examinations for surgeons. It provides a comprehensive survey of up-to-date knowledge for candidates of the MRCS/AFRCS examinations, and forms a useful update of general surgery for candidates of the Intercollegiate Examination.

Recent Advances in Surgery 26 focuses on 'General Surgery' and also carries contributions on important topics relevant to the management of all surgical patients, providing in-depth reviews of important advancing areas in surgical subspecialties. This wide scope makes this book an ideal choice for the busy consultant as well as an essential read for students of surgery at all levels.
