Hamilton Bailey's Emergency Surgery, 14th Edition

Reflecting huge changes in the practice of emergency surgery and the general surgery curriculum over recent years, the new edition of Hamilton Bailey's Emergency Surgery is designed to meet the needs of core and higher surgical trainees. It provides the necessary knowledge and evidence base to support surgical registrars' decision-making when providing on-call cover for general, emergency, vascular and trauma surgery. This is particularly relevant given the focus of health systems worldwide on providing enhanced 24/7 emergency cover. The detailed text is enhanced by full colour illustrations and video clips of relevant procedures, making this an essential read for the on-call surgical team.
