Excellent companion to srugical text book by Jeff Brown (Portland, OR)

I'm not sure why anyone would consider this a substitute for a surgical text book. This book is meant to be a supplement to material one already knows. The point here is not an exhaustive coverage of general surgery. This is not meant to be a singular resource for residency. This is meant to refine one's decision making, which it does wonderfully. If you have a surgical text book, than this supplements it well by giving excellent discussions on key points in surgical care. If you don't have a surgical text book, you need one or else you will be quickly lost with this book. The online access allows one to download chapters from anywhere. The chapters are short and very dense, making it easy to read several in a busy day.

I found this book invaluable not only as a fast, reliable reference for my daily practice but also an invaluable tool to prepare for my oral boards. I believe this book is the MAIN reason why i passed and i felt very well prepared after reading it cover to cover. It has very sensible and accepted management strategies for different aspects covered on the orals. It is the true "Safe answers for the Boards". Forget the other publication with that title which proves to be outdated and misleading. Higly recommended.

there are many great reviews here about this book, i totally agree with all what have been said, its a must if ur a surgeon , not recommended at all for undergraduates (greenfield is my number 1 for undergraduates as a reference textbook ), the book provides the real experience and the guidelines together (which a rigorous book like Schwartz lacks) , however my take on the book, is there is no coverage for organ transplant which is getting more and more popular every day, and ur chances of seeing a patient who had an organ transplant either for a problem related to his organ or a secondary problem are much higher, the vascular chapter is a bit confusing but overall a valuable book that bridges the gap between the knowledge and the experience

Save your money. Skip this poorly illustrated edition. by Joe the Cutter

Having just read Cameron's 8th edition cover to cover, I was disappointed to find that its follow-up was a downgrade. The paper quality is poorer. Despite the addition of a "Color Section", many of the photos are extremely fuzzy, as if they were taken with one of the first digital cameras ever made. Some of the illustrations are so dark that they appear as just a black splotch on the page (see the ultrasound and CT images of liver cysts). Others are too light (see the image of an Laryngeal Mask Airway). I thought that maybe my copy had just been printed poorly, but the corresponding images online are just as shoddy. I have not read through enough of this edition to be able to compare the text, but surgical residents should heed Dr. Cameron's caveat that the treatments described in this book reflect the individual practices of doctors who have been recognized as experts in their respective fields. I can only hope that the tenth edition, scheduled to arrive in 2011, will be an improvement upon its predecessor, especially in the graphics department.

I strongly recommend this book for a senior resident who will set for the final general surgical board exam. it contains the contraversal therapy of difrent surgical disease and the safe answer approach to the patients management during exam.
