General Surgical Emergencies is essential reading for surgical trainees, providing practical insight and helping to prevent errors and improve the standard of care given to patients. The clinical section deals with the common emergency clinical presentations encountered in a busy general hospital, including urology and vascular surgery, as well as abdominal and colorectal problems.



This section also highlights the important elements of history, examination, and investigation appropriate for the adequate assessment of the emergency patient. The pitfalls of management are illustrated by examples of “disaster scenarios” and by pointing out common errors. This book is both practical and detailed in the essentials of diagnosis and perioperative management, leading to clear advice.



Furthermore, it emphasizes the requirement for continuity of care and lays down rational rules as to how this may be achieved. It also discusses guidelines, the responsibility of doctors, and how to deal with interpersonal difficulties. The issues of delegation and consent are addressed. The last section of the book is particularly valuable as it deals with the important topic of postoperative complications. This is a subject that the surgical trainee finds difficult and is a common source of delay and error.
