Greenfield's Surgery integrates new scientific knowledge with evolving changes in surgical care.

Features:

• More than 60 individually numbered decision-making algorithms are featured throughout the book to provide diagnostic and management information in a simplified format.
• Many tables now carry classification bars, such as Diagnosis or Results, useful both when scanning the text for information and when accessing the book's contents digitally.
• Each chapter ends with a list of the Key Points covered therein, and the most important articles and chapters on the topic are highlighted in the reference list.
