Greenfield's surgery : Scientific princi ples & practice, (4^th Ed.)

The classic surgery text edited by Lazar Greenfield, Michael Mulholland, and colleagues is in its new Fourth Edition--thoroughly revised by a new editorial team and now illustrated in full colour throughout. The book provides comprehensive coverage of all types of surgery and continues Greenfield's widely acclaimed tradition of integrating basic science with clinical practice. This edition has three new editors--cancer specialist Gerard Doherty, trauma/critical care specialist Ronald Maier, and vascular surgeon Gilbert Upchurch, Jr. Coverage of cancer and trauma surgery has been greatly expanded and new chapters on vascular diagnostics, endovascular treatment of disease, and venous disease have been added.
