Current Surgical Guidelines

Abstract

Current Surgical Guidelines provides a unique summary of current guidelines in surgery, covering all key topics in surgical practice, and formulated to answer most real-life clinical practice questions with contemporary facts and figures, decision recommendations, and treatment options. The book uses a bullet-point concise format to allow easy digestion of rather scattered information, and ‘anchor points’ for easy recall of relevant information when and where needed. The book organizes clinical information in a special uniform and structured way to allow better knowledge management and to enhance readers’ ability to apply evidence–based practice in real case scenarios. The authors have ensured that the 2nd edition include all key updates in guidelines, with second reviewers from each specialty to ensure the recommendations reflect current best practice in the field. The book follows the training curriculum for basic and higher surgical training for doctors and nurses in the UK, but also provide an invaluable source of best practice in surgery to hospital managers at different levels, to admin staff, and to all those involved in the care of patients in surgery. Medical students can benefit from having a reference guide to real–life contemporary practical recommendations in surgery, allowing them to bridge the ever-widening gap between theory and practice.
