5.0 out of 5 stars
Sabiston has raised the bar for surgery texts yet again.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Textbook of Surgery: the Biological Basis of Modern Surgical Practice (Hardcover)
Sabiston continues where he left off, expanding and
inmproving the 14th edition, with many of the same
contributors (eg. Orringer, Meyers, Rolandelli, Urbaniak)
from past editions, and lots of new ones.
I sometimes prefer the new ones, since they tend to review
their topic from a more objective view (eg. MEN by Larimore)
vs. the "I do it this way" approach (such as Orringer on
transhiatal esophagectomy).
The graphics are improved, and the basic science sections
have been beefed up (no doubt a response to Greenfield)
often with the addition of non-surgeon authors (Olga Jonassen
on diabetes, for example).
A gigantic plus for this book is the accompaniments, namely
the pocket handbook, review test book, and essentials (in
my view, the only surgery text 3rd year med students should
be reading). But the coup de grace is the CD-ROM companion,
which contains all the text and graphics from the book, and
unlike Scientific American's _Care of the Surgical Patient_
is able to display them both at once.
This is now the standard for the general surgeon's bookshelf...
the only thing left to add is a web site.

comprehensive text suffers from opinionated editor,
By Deb O'Nair "DEB" (Memphis, Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Textbook of Surgery: The Biological Basis of Modern Surgical Practice (Hardcover)
this text is riddled with this very prejudiced editor's personal abberrancies which detract from its value.
