Reviews

This book simply smacks of class; I have had the privilege of reviewing the hardback edition which is a robust and physically heavy book.  This is a powerful heavyweight textbook that seems to cover most surgical specialties and is suitable for a global audience. Even better, its appeal is widespread throughout various sectors of the medical and surgical community. If you are a practicing physician and just need one surgical textbook as a reference source for your personal or departmental library, this excellent book could fit the bill. It is also very useful for the undergraduate or postgraduate medic no matter where you are in the world. So it is very adaptable to a number of end users.Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia, May 2018, Full review: http://www.glycosmedia.com/bailey-and-loves-short-practice-of-surgery-2/

This is a high-quality book on an international level that provides significant additional illustrations and discussion of problems encountered. It is thus a highly valuable resource for students, residents, and surgeons who will be practicing outside the U.S. (or doing surgical volunteerism). There is nothing comparable to the Bailey textbooks. This 27th edition nicely updates and enhances information from the 26th edition, while remaining true to the purpose of the original.

This superb new edition updates the 25th edition published in 2008. Bailey & Love remains a standard textbook encapsulating current surgical practice across all the major surgical specialties. There are large, well written sections on the abdomen, elective orthopaedics and genitourinary systems. Shorter sections cover transplantation, cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, breast and endocrine surgery, and the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The first four sections cover principles of surgery and surgical care, investigation and diagnosis, perioperative care and the management of trauma.

This book has a thoroughly modern feel. Each chapter is written by recognised experts in the field, and the writing is clear and well structured. It is well illustrated with radiographs, coloured line diagrams and photographs. The photographs illustrating clinical examination are particularly helpful. The combination of illustrations and summary boxes provides an easy-to-follow route for quick revision before postgraduate examinations.

In short, this book encapsulates in one volume all that is required for a trainee surgeon approaching an examination in surgery in general and for a general surgeon whose practice crosses subspecialty boundaries.
