View SurgeryTextbooks TextBooks Current Surgical Therapy by John L. Cameron: "The eighth edition of Current Surgical Therapy features 280 all-new chapters, each written by an expert surgeon who offers proven, practical approaches to the surgical management of a given disease. Contributors have been chosen not only for their prominence in the field, but also because they are actively involved in patient care. Each chapter covers a condition that is seen with some frequency in thegeneral surgeon's practice. For faster reference, chapters follow a consistent format: patient selection, timing of therapy, preoperative care, operative technique, postoperative management, adjuvant therapy, prevention and management of complications, and follow-up. Diagnosis and pathophysiology are discussed only to the extent that they affect treatment choices." Current Surgical Therapy is a very clinically oriented textbook. Much less pathophysiology is included. All general surgery residents should read this book in its entirety before taking the boards. It is less useful for the yearly ABSITE exam which emphasizes basic science more.
