This handy, pocket-sized manual describes the most common cause, complication, manifestation, site, symptom or sign, or sex predilection of every major disease pertaining to surgery. The book incorporates this information into easy-to-use tables for a quick reference that is invaluable to students in their clinical rotations or in residency programs. Each table covers a particular topic (for example, AIDS) and consists of two columns: "Most Commons . . ." and "Answers and Explanations." Additionally, at the end of each table is a USMLE-style question with the corresponding answer and a brief explanation. MOST COMMONS IN SURGERY covers all the topics pertinent to surgical clerkship or residency, including information on surgical subspecialties.
