Sabiston Textbook of Surgery: The Biological Basis of Modern Surgical Practice

by Courtney M. Townsend Jr.

First published in 1936, the Sabiston Textbook has served generations of surgeons as the defining text in the field. The 17th Edition carries on this distinguished legacy, presenting the world's most thorough, useful, readable, and understandable coverage of the principles and techniques of surgery. Sweeping changes include comprehensive updates to reflect the latest knowledge and techniques...a new, full-color page layout for enhanced ease of reference... a new image bank CD-ROM containing over 1,300 illustrations, intraoperative photographs, tables, diagnostic images, graphs, pie charts, algorithms, and anatomical drawings all downloadable to Powerpoint presentations.

Excerpt from Claude Organ Foreword

The Editors have brought to this bold departure from previous editions significant clinical and research experience and important elements of balanced functionality---information that is useful to the practitioner, resident, and student. . . An outstanding group of diverse contributors. . .all well-informed and known major contributors to their fields."

Leí la 14a edición, es triste desprenderse de los libros de la carrera pero no debo conservar más de 2 ediciones atrasadas.

Hands down the best surgical textbook! There were so many logical explanations and tips for differentiating similar presentations that helped me to pass my surgery shelf with flying colors. This book was almost the only tool I used for study aside from two NBME self-assessments, so the time spent reading it made my life during surgery rotation so much more manageable. A must read for surgeons or physicians in any specialty that works closely with surgery.

When Schwartz was still a two volume book, this was the best book to move around with during med school. A bit complex for a student but there were topics in it that makes this book unique.

I read the sixteenth edition of this book. It is excellent. It was very helpful during medical school.

Well ladies I am aware that this is a very sad choice of books to be reading but it's the truth..... I'm studying for my yearly surgery exam. After it's over on Jan 26 I promise to post something enjoyable to read :-)
