A Synopsis of General Pathology for Surgeons

A sound understanding of pathology is crucial to a safe and effective surgical practice: the Courts of Examiners of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons recognise the importance of surgical pathology in clinical practice and as a consequence a basic understanding of general pathology will be examined both at Basic Surgical Training level in the MRCS examination and at Higher Surgical Training level in the Intercollegiate FRCS. This 'Synopsis of General Pathology for Surgeons' is precisely that: a concise review of general pathology presenting the topic by disease processes.Information is presented in a point-by-point fashion, with no wasted words. Selected references and illustrations help the reader's understanding. Aimed at the surgical trainee, this book will be especially useful for revision and to act as a daily aide-memoire in clinical practice.
