This book will help you take a badly wounded patient to the operating room, organize yourself and your team, do battle with some vicious injuries, and come out with the best possible result. It is a practical guide to operative trauma surgery for residents and registrars, for general surgeons with an interest in trauma, and for isolated surgeons operating on wounded patients in military, rural, or humanitarian settings. A surgical atlas may show you what to do with your hands - but not how to think, plan, and improvise. Here you will find practical advice on how to use your head as well as your hands when operating on a massively bleeding trauma patient.

Top Knife is a Top Book,
This review is from: Top Knife: Art and Craft in Trauma Surgery (Paperback)
Truly outstanding book for anyone providing surgical care to trauma patients. We've decided to purchase a copy for each of our senior residents so they will definitely read it. Easy to read. Practical knowledge and techniques, evidence based where possible, experienced base always. It reinforced much I've learned in 25 years of trying to teach trauma surgery and taught me new tricks and concepts.

To the point on trauma,
By Marius Langballe Dalin (Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Top Knife: Art and Craft in Trauma Surgery (Paperback)
This is the most entertaining surgical textbook I have ever read! It is straight to the point, pointing out practical solutions and a practicable way of thinking. It is focused on strategy and tactics, not on technical and anatomic details. I will heartly recommend this book to all surgeons who deal with trauma and are not already experienced trauma surgeons. (For the experienced trauma surgeon this will probably good entertainment as well.)
