Review

From the Author

This is the fourth edition. I’ve completely updated all of the procedures, added a lot, and coordinated it with the SCORE(TM) curriculum categories. Lots of photos have been added, and many new color drawings. This book is different from all my other textbooks in its emphasis on anatomy. It is a combination of a surgical textbook/atlas and a surgical anatomy book.
