Schein's Common Sense Emergency Abdominal Surgery 2nd edition

Schein's Common Sense Emergency Abdominal Surgery 2nd edition by Moshe Schein and Paul N. Rogers is a battlefield for the surgeon - providing character-building experiences, and opportunities for triumph and disaster. In the second edition of this 'simple' book, emergency abdominal surgery is discussed in an informal and no nonsense fashion - as practiced in the 'trenches' of the ER and the OR. The preferred approach for a given situation is discussed in context; it has to fulfill certain prerequisites: save life, decrease morbidity, be cost effective and be performed correctly.

Corman: Colon and Rectal Surgery 5th edition

Corman Colon and Rectal Surgery 5th edition by Marvin L. Corman was established for over 15 years as "the gold standard in its discipline" (JAMA). This encyclopedic and abundantly illustrated text provides comprehensive coverage of all diseases and traumatic injuries affecting the colon, rectum, and anus and offers step-by-step instructions on every operative procedure currently used to treat these disorders. The book also includes thorough reviews of anatomy, physiology, and related medical topics and an extensive section on diagnostic studies, particularly ultrasound and other radiologic imaging modalities. More than 1,300 illustrations, many new to this edition, complement the text.
Every chapter has been rewritten, new references added, and art expanded. Areas of management no longer considered applicable have been deleted. The fact is, as George Pickering implied, that within 30 to 40 years, 50 percent of medical writing will be wrong or obsolete.
