Bailey and Love's Short Practice of Surgery

by Norman S. Williams, Christopher J.K. Bulstrode, P Ronan O'Connell

Bailey & Love's Short Practice of Surgery remains one of the world's pre-eminent medical textbooks, beloved by generations of surgeons, with lifetime sales in excess of one million copies.Now in its 25th edition, the content has been thoroughly revised and updated while retaining its traditional strengths. Under the stewardship of the eminent editorial team, comprising two editors with experience gained over previous editions and a third editor new to this edition, and in response to reader feedback, the content has been sub-divided into parts to ensure a logical sequence and grouping of related chapters throughout while the text features enthusiastically received in the last edition have been retained. The new edition opens with sections devoted to the underlying principles of surgical practice, investigation and diagnosis, and pre-operative care. These are followed by chapters covering all aspects of surgical trauma. The remainder of the book considers each of the surgical specialties in turn, from elective orthopaedics through skin, head and neck, breast and endocrine, cardiothoracic and vascular, to abdominal and genitourinary.Key features: Authoritative: emphasises the importance of effective clinical examination and soundly based surgical principles, while taking into account the latest developments in surgical practice.Updated: incorporates new chapters on a wide variety of topics including metabolic response to injury, shock and blood transfusion, and surgery in the tropics.Easy to navigate: related chapters brought together into clearly differentiated sections for the first time.Readable: preserves the clear, direct writing style, uncluttered by technical jargon, that has proved so popular in previous editions.User-friendly: numerous photographs and explanatory line diagrams, learning objectives, summary boxes, biographical footnotes, memorable anecdotes and full-colour presentation supplement and enhance the text throughout.Bailey and Love has a wide appeal to all those studying surgery, from undergraduate medical students to those in preparation for their postgraduate surgical examinations. In addition, its high standing and reputation for unambiguous advice also make it the first point of reference for many practising surgeons. The changes that have been introduced to the 25th edition will only serve to strengthen support for the text among all these groups.

A great book for the beginner in surgery. Though called A short practice of surgery, the book is thousands of pages thick. Think the authors are still writing "The long practice of surgery"

اكبر كتاب عندي. يحطم المعنويات :(

Read this during med school during my surgery rotation but its pretty long and if you want to be more quick for your exams then I suggest online or class resources (medbullets, uworld, uptodate, lectures, shorter versions of surgery textbooks).

If you’re sitting for your boards/steps— I suggest stick to uworld, pathoma, osmosis/kaplan videos, usmleRx, and the trusty First Aid for the respective steps!

I read most of GI surgeries from this thoroughly for my OR rotations. I found them much easier to understand and digest. I think this is a great resource at a junior level but only for topics you find tough.

Personally speaking people might think of me as nerd though I m not at all believe me. This book is really addictive once you start it (if you have the courage) you wont be able to use anyother. In other words no other book will satisfy you. I admit when we see it, it appears to be a big book and really heavy as for the people who usually set their mind by weighing a book that is just apparent. It is precise and well described one. If you intend to learn surgery in real means I would definitely recommend it to you.

despite being over 1500 pages, this book is literally sort of review book. Principles of Surgery and trauma handling (ATLS , )are described quite in length . while in the systemic portion most of the chapters are just review. it may seem nerdy but its writing style and narrating stories of surgery in an interesting way make this book a page-turner. The summary boxes after every topic can help wrap up the whole discussion as well as serve as a quick review on exam night .

A very easy book to read, all the informations are broken down to sections making it both easy and less scary to read :D
I still have some sections left, but I have really benefited from the sections I have read and I will keep reading it for the next two years :)
