【圖書簡介】

During the past 3 score and 7 years, this surgical text, edited successively by Christopher (5 editions), Davis (4 editions), Sabiston (6 editions), and now Townsend (3 editions), has charted the surgical seas for generations of surgeons throughout their careers as they progressed from students to practitioners and teachers. Dr. Townsend and his three associate editors have added to the innovations that they initiated in the 15th edition in recognition of the ever-increasing velocity of acquisition of knowledge, expansion of surgical practice, and application of new technology. This edition is organized into 13 sections—focused on basic principles of surgery, organ-specific general surgical care, and the surgical super-specialties—to recapitulate the content of the American Board of Surgery certifying examination. The editorial team has added more than 50 new members to the all-star cast of authors for the 77 chapters that provide global coverage of surgery.

Of all the surgical texts, this one most successfully integrates information from the laboratory to illuminate the rationale for surgical care. Each chapter begins with a chapter outline and contains other tables presenting checklists of key principles and practices. Abundant use is made of color in illustrative photographs and drawings and to emphasize important aspects of graphs and tables. A unique feature is the citation and brief summary of seminal articles, which are beyond the reach of short–time span search programs, designed to inform the reader how we arrived at the current state-of-the-art.

The new chapters about patient safety considerations, bedside procedures, and regenerative medicine provide the reader with charts of previously unexplored surgical seas. Dr. Townsend and his colleagues have further enhanced the value of this classic work by bringing it into the world of electronic education. Expert Consult will facilitate lifetime learning by giving access to the fully searchable complete book content online, along with updates, references linked to Medline, downloadable illustrations, and “bonus” articles from surgical periodicals, as well as review questions that can be used in preparing for examinations.

In sum total, this volume sets a new standard for surgical textbooks. The information contained in this, Dr. Townsend's 3rd and overall the 18th, edition of this venerable text ensures smooth sailing in the currently turbulent surgical seas.
