Guidance in print and online from the oldest continually published, English-language general surgery reference!
For more than 70 years, the Sabiston Textbook of Surgery has been a valued educational tool for medical students, residents, and practicing surgeons. The 18th edition, edited by Courtney Townsend, continues this long tradition. It is a comprehensive, superbly structured textbook on general surgery and the various subspecialties.
The basic science chapters, such as those on molecular and cell biology, are readable and timely and include discussion on genetics, recombinant DNA, cell signaling, cell division, apoptosis, the Human Genome project, novel treatment strategies, and legal implications. These chapters constitute an excellent reference for the practicing surgeon and medical student.
The clinical chapters also are comprehensive. For example, the chapter on the colon and rectum is superb. It reviews major issues: embryology, anatomy, physiology, bowel preparation, diverticular disease, volvulus, obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, infectious colitis, colonic ischemia, neoplasia, pelvic floor disorders, and laparoscopy. The tables, illustrations, figures, radiographs, and photographs are of excellent quality and highly informative. The flow diagrams are particularly instructive. Although no general text can provide, or is intended to provide, the depth of a subspecialty book, this chapter is unusually complete and readable. It will be helpful to medical students and residents as well as practicing physicians.
The text can be purchased in its entirety online, along with online questions, updates, video, and downloadable figures for Power Point presentation (Expert Consult Premium Edition). Although I generally enjoy reading from a book rather than a computer screen, there are many advantages to such online accessibility. It allows medical students, residents, and physicians to quickly search and review a topic or study in the hospital, clinic, or other site from any computer with Internet access. The search features are quite usable and the online version permits specific chapters to be printed, which will aid in preparing for examinations as well as clinical and surgical decision-making.
In summary, the 18th edition of the Sabiston Textbook of Surgery: The Biologic Basis of Modern Surgical Practice will not disappoint even the most critical reader. This up-to-date, well-written text is essential to any medical library or serious student of surgery. With the added bonus of online access, it provides an indispensable reference for the practicing clinician. A worthwhile tradition continues.
