This book is very well written and has almost every operation that I could possibly perform as a surgical resident. It's also very brief and to the point. It was a great review of the operation right before going into the OR. Also, I have it downloaded onto my palm so searching for operations is easy and fast. I would highly recommend this product, especially for the general surgery intern.

must have for surgical residents! great help for dictating as well as good review right before going into a case!

This is absolutely one of the must-haves for any surgery resident. So helpful for an intern just getting started, and I imagine will also be helpful once I get to more complicated procedures. Helps to read it before, not just after, a case to outline all the important steps, etc. Highly recommend. Do note, though, that not all types of cases are in here, particularly some of the smaller ones. Also, (need I say this?) pay attention to the differences in technique between what's written in here and what you actually do with your attending. Everyone has their own style, dictate it appropriately.

This collection of operative dictation scripts is invaluable for the general surgery resident who needs a quick refresher before scrubbing on a case and doesn't want to lug around an atlas or large textbook. This book is designed to be used along with Chassin's Operative Atlas of Surgery. I purchased this book on the advice of fellow general surgeons who were preparing for the general surgery oral boards. This book was invaluable as a way to quickly learn the key steps in procedures that were tested on the oral boards (Whipple, esophagectomy, gastrectomy, and much much more).

This is the worst deal I ve ever made. I ordered and paid for 3 books but I just recieved 2 cheap book. The most important book I ordred never came.
I will never buy stuff on amazon any more.
