Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England - 2008
'The Recent Advances series has always been championed as excellent revision material for surgical examinations and this particular volume covers a very diverse field indeed within which every potential candidate should find sections of relevance.'

British Journal of Surgery - 2006
'...recommended to all candidates for certification of general surgery. Furthermore, more specialist surgeons will find it helpful both in the management of patients and in discussions with other specialists within multidisciplinary teams.'

The Royal Society of Medicine Press is delighted to publish Recent Advances in Surgery 29, which is part of the successful and well established Recent Advances series.

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.
