Choose well, cut well, get well -- Anaesthesia-related techniques -- The severely injured patient -- Laparotomy: elective and emergency -- Principles of minimal access surgery -- Abdominal wall and hernias -- Appendix and abdominal abscess -- Oesophagus -- Oesophageal cancer -- Stomach and duodenum -- Small bowel and operations for obesity -- Colonoscopy -- Colon -- Anorectum -- Biliary tract -- Pancreas -- Liver and portal venous system -- Spleen -- Breast -- Thyroid -- Parathyroid -- Adrenalectomy -- Arteries -- Veins and lymphatics -- Sympathectomy and the management of hyperhidrosis -- Transplantation -- Thorax -- Head and neck -- Orthopaedics and trauma: amputations -- Orthopaedics and trauma: general principles -- Orthopaedics and trauma: upper limb -- Orthopaedics and trauma: lower limb -- Plastic surgery -- Paediatric surgery -- Neurosurgery -- Upper urinary tract -- Lower urinary tract -- Male genitalia -- Gynaecological surgery -- Ear, nose and throat -- Oral and maxillofacial surgery -- Ophthalmology.
Summary: General Surgical Operations is a highly-praised and comprehensive textbook of operative surgery. It is a practical manual aimed at the surgeon who is about to carry out an operation, rather than just a description of the principles suitable for an examiner. Kirk's General Surgical Operations continues to be aimed at a broad readership: the candidate preparing for the Intercollegiate FRCS in General Surgery or international equivalents; the trained surgeon faced, through necessity, with undertaking an infrequently performed procedure; and the many surgeons working in hospitals throughout the world without access to specialist services. It remains above all a practical text which will guide the surgeon in training, or one unfamiliar with a procedure, on how to perform it, but more importantly on how to manage the uncertainties which so often arise. This is a 'What to do' book. Using it the reader can aspire to gain diagnostic, decision making and operative surgical competence with confidence.
