As the practice of surgery becomes increasingly scientific in its basis, so must the surgeon be more aware of the scientific principles underlying normal and altered function and the effects of surgical intervention. This book provides a comprehensive account of human physiology with reference to surgery. Starting with the building blocks of cellular function, the text covers the physiology of all the body's organ systems in detail. In addition, special sections on general principles and on physiology in surgical practice and critical care ensure that the surgeon is fully aware of those areas where a thorough understanding of basics leads to more effective handling of clinical situations. Written mainly for surgeons who are working towards postgraduate qualifications of the four Royal Colleges, the book should also be a useful aid to those studying the basic science elements of the obstetric and gynaecology examinations.
