This wonderful new book will be enormously useful to all undergraduates in Surgery. It has been produced in collaboration with students which has ensured that their need to demystify surgical procedures has been at the heart of the development. -- Philippa Tostevin, Professor in Surgical Education and Head of the Centre of Clinical Education, St. George’s University of London

The field of surgery has enchanted students for as long as it has existed, and today's medical students are no exception. Despite surgery being vital to our healthcare system, very few students are exposed to surgical teaching at a level of detail approaching that of their instruction in medicine or critical care. This textbook seeks to excise the mystery around the operating theatre and to equip students with a thorough understanding of the principles of common operations.
