Publisher's Synopsis
This textbook of surgical techniques has been designed in such a way that numerous illustrations with key phrases reinforce the comprehension of the text at all stages. Each anatomical subject is examined in terms of anatomy, physiology, infections, trauma and individual diseases and tumours. Emphasis is placed on recent developments in topics such as coma, brain death and blood transfusion reactions. Although the text has been written primarily for use by medical students, nurses, paramedics and social workers, it also offers a refresher course to the busy practitioner.
