This review is from: General Surgery Board Review (Paperback)

This book is extremely out of date and there are many other books out there that are more helpful. For example, this book doesn't even mention sentinel lymph node biopsies which are now the standard of care. Save your money.

This is an excellent supplement to use for studying for the ABSITE or the Boards. It gives you a lot of crucial information without bogging you down with excruciating details. It is a definite must for any surgical resident.
