Preface Analysis
The authors’ intent for this ninth edition is to provide a brief and rational approach to the assessment and management of conditions relevant to the surgical community.
The book aims to fill the clinical gap for a concise reference that provides specific evidence-based treatment algorithms and key operative steps without the exhaustive detail of a traditional reference textbook.
The manual is primarily directed toward second- or third-year surgical residents, though the authors note its utility for all levels of residents, attendings, medical students, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners.
