Book SynopsisFocuses on operative surgery. This title is aimed at a broad readership: the candidate preparing for the Intercollegiate FRCS in General Surgery or international equivalents; and the trained surgeon faced, through necessity, with undertaking an infrequently performed procedure.
Trade Review"The 6th edition of Kirk's General Surgical Operations gives clear, concise guidance of acquiring comprehensive surgical skills to ensure operative success, encouraging and empowering the reader from the very beginning. In this new edition all chapters were thoroughly updated and revised. The content was expanded from 33 to 42 chapters, offering an excellent key resource for both junior surgical trainees and undergraduate medical students... including the most recent surgical advances such as modern laparoscopic procedures and bariatric surgery, the authors bring together up-to-date content, making it an important source for any aspiring surgeon."
