Surgical Talk: Lecture Notes In Undergraduate Surgery, 3rd Edition

This book was recommended to me by a registrar while at medical school.I really struggle reading the dense text books we have to read at medical school so this book was great.It reads like a conversation and helps pull out the key points of a lot of common and serious surgical conditions. It is by no means comprehensive, however it is a very good read for the end of the day when you are too tired to focus on a dense text book and it will allow you to absorb key information easily.There are many helpful diagrams in the book, too.

I was a medical student when I bought this, I have since graduated. I loved it, it is an old school surgical book which tells you all the important and clinically relevant information in a concise manor. Also great for impressing surgical consultants because it seems to include all the little extra bits of informations that are never on normal websites or textbooks but consultants always seem to ask you about. Would definitely recommend and I still use it today as a qualified doctor. Plus the cover is matt finish and feels amazing, and its a great size for carrying around. Overall loved it, its one of the only textbooks I have read cover to cover and I don't even enjoy surgery!

I have used this edition out of my university library several times before deciding to purchase this one for myself. The copy I received states it was printed by Amazon.co.uk on the back inside cover and is clearly of a much inferior quality than those published by the proper publishers (Imperial College Press). The cover is not as thick and the pages are of a cheaper matt type material. The contents appear to be identical however.I was a little disappointed to receive this obviously inferior copy but the contents of the book have been useful for my finals revision nonetheless. It would be helpful if Amazon would make it clearer within the items details that this is not an original publishers version.

All you need to read regarding surgery for finals. It is written in prose, which makes it harder to revise from but better for learning and understanding the basic principles.

Well laid out and comprehensive revision of surgery for final year medical students. Maybe too much depth in some areas but will hopefully be useful for foundation years as well.

Very nicely written in a relatively "easy" language, great for undergrad level surgical topics during medical school and as a foundation to higher surgical training. Gives you all the basics

Good breakdown of essential surgery for finals. Written in a way that keeps you interested in topic and touches on osces as well as pathologies.

Short and succinct. For anyone looking for an overview of all surgery this is perfect. For finals and also beyond!
