Consisting of 300 short chapters organized by surgical disease and surgical procedure, it serves as the ultimate quick reference for the resident or practicing general surgeon looking for a refresher before a case and serves as an excellent text for board review, especially oral board review. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text is clinically oriented and does not replace the need for the foundational textbook, Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, which provides the necessary basic science and covers topics at greater depth that Current Practice of General Surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe format of Current Practice of General Surgery facilitates quick review. Each surgical disease chapter contains the same set of subheads, and each procedure chapter contains the same set of subheads. The book provides current evidence for choosing the best treatment plan, and is truly an evidence-based approach to general surgery. Procedures are well illustrated, with key operational steps highlighted and clearly explained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe format, organization, and succinct coverage make the content ideal for repurposing in any digital format, whether it be online, tablet, smart phone, or app.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe impetus for this book is market research that indicated Schwartz's Principles of Surgery was primarily used in the first and second year of surgery residency, but much less so in the fourth and fifth year of residency. The most popular book in the fourth year and fifth year of residency is Cameron's Current Surgical Therapy (Elsevier), which is also the best selling surgery book (of books priced greater than $100). This new addition to the Schwartz series will go head to head against \"Cameron\" as the primary reference for the second half of the surgery residency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book can also be seen as replacing the Schwartz Manual of Surgery, ISBN 0071446885, which was last published in 2006 and will not be published in the future. Per market research, surgeons prefer a larger, color format and do not have much interest in a smaller trim pocket handbook or manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e--Conserved format from chapter to chapter helps facilitate quick review\u003cbr\u003e--Succinct text and highly curated selection of figures provides exactly what you need to know and not too much\u003cbr\u003e--Controversial treatments clearly differentiated from more widely accepted treatments\u003cbr\u003e--The most current review of surgery available\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMarket\/Audience\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003esurgery residents, practicing surgeons, medical students (surgery clerkship), surgical assistants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Profile\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eF.
