Publisher's Synopsis
Over 200 discrete topics, covering the full spectrum of general surgery and the surgical sub-specialties. Each topic will be presented in a bulleted, outline-oriented format. Extensive coverage of pathophysiology, especially the molecular and genetic underpinnings of disease states and their progression, will be included. Examples of new laparoscopic and other minimally invasive surgical techniques will also be illustrated and described throughout(see GI, GYN, and vascular chapters.)
