Book description
Single Best Answers in Surgery offers a new approach to revising for
surgical finals; by not only indicating the correct answer to each
question, but explaining the full rationale used for finding the answer
in each case. This means the book is invaluable not only for
self-testing before an exam, but will have long-term value throughout a
student's surgical studies, through to finals exams and beyond. The
questions are arranged into topic areas, followed by a practice exam for
true self-assessment. Single Best Answers in Surgery contains 450
questions and answers in the following areas:
(1) Pre- and Postoperative Management, (2) Fluid Balance and Parenteral
Nutrition, (3) Trauma, (4) Abdomen: Upper GI and Hepatobiliary Surgery,
(5) Abdomen: Lower GI Surgery (6) Abdomen: The Acute Abdomen, (7) Breast
Surgery, (8) Vascular Surgery, (9) Urology, (10) Orthopaedics, (11)
Neurosurgery, (12) ENT Surgery, (13) Ophthalmic Surgery, (14) Lumps,
