Summary: "The cases in this book represent how surgeons think and make decisions about clinical problems. We have attempted to write it in a way that allows us to "talk to you" as you read it, so that the book will be the next best thing to teaching in person. The cases are organized by systems address the common presentations of clinical problems. The history and physical examination clues, radiologic images, and other figures help you formulate a differential and ultimately a diagnosis. Case variations are also presented to help you consider the appropriate treatment of patients with various complications and coexisting conditions"-- Provided by publisher.
