Sabiston textbook of surgery : the biological basis of modern surgical practice.

First published in 1936, the Sabiston Textbook has served generations of surgeons as the defining text in the field. The 17th Edition carries on this distinguished legacy, presenting the world's most thorough, useful, readable, and understandable coverage of the principles and techniques of surgery. Sweeping changes include comprehensive updates to reflect the latest knowledge and techniques...a new, full-color page layout for enhanced ease of reference... a new image bank CD-ROM containing over 1,300 illustrations, intraoperative photographs, tables, diagnostic images, graphs, pie charts, algorithms, and anatomical drawings all downloadable to Powerpoint presentations. Features 50% new contributors and many new chapters, providing fresh insights into every area of surgery. Covers hot new topics such as robotics · endovascular procedures · surgery in pregnant, elderly, and immunocompromised patients · surgery for obesity · minimally invasive surgery · ultrasound for surgeons · the surgeon's role in disaster management · emerging technologies · breast reconstruction · and many more. Uses a new full-color layout and many new full-color illustrations to make the material easier to access and absorb. Includes a new CD that contains all of the book's illustrations, easily importable into Powerpoint presentations. Offers a dedicated web site (sold separately, or as an e-dition package with the book) that delivers the entire contents of the text online-completely searchable-with references hyperlinked to PubMed.
