Clinical Surgery in General

Paperback: 512 pages | Publisher: Churchill Livingstone; 4 edition | Language: English 

 

This book does not attempt to rival major surgical textbooks, but draws together a collection of basic information in a convenient format. It provides a transition in knowledge between the basic sciences and clinical practice.
