    THE STUDENT GUIDE TO OPERATIONS
    An All-in-One Resource for Everything You Need to Know Before a Case

    by Umut Sarpel (New York University Langone Medical Center, USA)

    This study guide is an all-in-one resource that brings together the relevant anatomy, pathology, and technical descriptions necessary to help surgical students prepare for an upcoming operation. Unlike most surgical texts which are overly academic, heavy, and expensive, this pocket-sized and easily affordable book contains concise information covering only the key and main points needed to prepare for a surgery. Organized logically by operation or procedure, and enhanced with the use of clear and attractive illustrations and mind maps, this book will help time-pressed medical students and surgical clerks review surgical cases quickly and effectively.
