Product Description

The new edition of Schwartz's Principles of Surgery has become the text of choice for all surgeons and residents. And now, a self-assessment and board review book has been developed to accompany the field's new classic. Featuring more than 1400 questions complete with answers and rationales, this is not a review of Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, but a comprehensive review supported by the content from the main text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent self testing, August 11, 2009

By	A. Bhattacharyya (Rockville, MD, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This self assessment edition is a much more improved version over the previous one. The solutions/answers are given next to the quiz page and that saves a lot of time while one is going through a list of questions and wants to know the answer after each ( no need to turn all the pages and go to the end of the book to find the relevant answers). Overall the presentation is good and handy. The contents are as good as ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cogent and comprehensive self-assessment tool, December 20, 2007

By	Hamilton Bailey "hamilton bailey" (USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a good tool for self assessment. The explanations to the answers add to your understanding of the subject. Gives key tables at the end of a chapter. On the whole an excellent resource for the ABSITE exam and the general surgery written boards.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice review book., June 3, 2007

By	A. Gasparyan (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The newer edition follows the latest version of Schwartz. Questions are different then the old book, however the last 5 or so questions in each chapter are from the previous version of the same book. Some explanations to answers are excellent, with resources, other's don't really answer WHY a certain answer is picked for the quesiton asked. Overall, its' a good book to have. I would suggest it.
