Description
First published in 1949 by renowned surgeon Ian Aird, this classic resource has become one of the leading British core textbooks of surgery. Encompassing all aspects of contemporary practice, the new 3rd Edition has been completely reorganized and updated to meet the clinical reference and certification preparation needs of today's surgeons. 85% of the chapters are either totally new or have been significantly revised to reflect the latest advances and techniques in every surgical specialty. What's more, a new two-color format and many new full-color illustrations make reference easier than ever before.
