Customer Reviews

Fantastic Book

Awesome book that's great for medical students for a great overview of the different surgical specialities. Also includes chapters on anesthesiology. I used it many times throughout my clerkships just to brush up on the procedures and indications for specific surgeries for the different medical problems seen in pediatrics and internal medicine.

A MUST: better than Essentials of General Surgery

Although Essentials of General Surgery is excellent of it's own merit. It is just that "GENERAL". It has limited info about specifics related to procedures. However this book, "Essentials of Surgical Specialties" is much more detail oriented.

Great for MSIII Students

This is a great book for third year clerkships and board prep. Covers a perfect amount of detail with simple (not layman) terms. Great corresponding imaging pictures and explanations (Xray, CT, MRI etc). This book assumes a basic knowledge of USMLE step 1 material with pertinant reviews of clinically relavent basic science things. Covers Peds surg, anesthesia, Plastics, optho, ENT, CT, ortho, neuro and urology.
