The Eleventh Edition of Farquharson’s is an essential resource for both junior trainee surgeons and experienced surgical professionals. This comprehensive textbook equips readers with the fundamental surgical skills necessary for success in general surgery as well as the specialized knowledge required for higher surgical training.
This edition covers a wide array of topics that focus on the whole patient, emphasizing the importance of a broad understanding that trainee surgeons need to develop. Surgeons often find themselves operating outside their primary area of expertise, and this book prepares them for those scenarios.
- Key Features:
- In-depth coverage of both general and subspecialty surgical principles.
- Insights from specialist authors tailored for general surgeons.
- Focus on practical skills for emergency surgery and trauma situations.
- Guidance on managing intraoperative complications across various specialties.
In many regions worldwide, General Surgery remains a comprehensive surgical discipline. In remote hospitals, General Surgeons often serve as the sole surgical specialists available, facing challenges where transfer and referral options are limited. This edition includes essential operations in orthopaedics, neurosurgery, urology, and obstetrics, highlighting achievable solutions in demanding circumstances.
The emphasis is on pragmatic surgical approaches rather than highly sophisticated procedures, ensuring that all surgeons can provide effective care in a variety of settings.
