DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Surgery Review is a comprehensive review presented in a unique
format. Topics are introduced with case presentations and relevant
diagnostic and management information is then summarized in easy-to-
remember capsules with exam pearls interjected throughout. All areas of
general surgery are covered, including the subspecialty areas. There is
also a section on basic science found on the in-training exam and written
boards, and a section of anesthesia, trauma, and critical care. Unlike
many other books, General Surgery Review excludes controversial
management in order to present an easy-to-remember foundation of
knowledge. Thus, the book focuses on "the basics" to provide the
reader with a broad command of the field. This title is indispensable to
residents studying for in-training exam or boards, and is also popular
with practitioners preparing for their recertification exam in general
surgery.
Written by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine faculty and
surgical residents, the second edition of The Johns Hopkins ABSITE
Review Manual delivers comprehensive coverage of the American
Board of Surgery In-Training Examination through two full-length
practice tests. Both tests are based on actual key words from recent
ABSITEs, and are accompanied by test review sections, which go over
every practice test question and answer, providing rationales behind
surgical decision-making.ABSITE-style question format familiarizes
readers with the test’s presentation and content. This edition features
twice the number of questions as in the previous edition, offering
even more opportunities for self-paced review. Rationales for correct
and incorrect responses help to identify the test-taker’s strengths
and weaknesses. A convenient companion website offers a complete
online test bank to facilitate studying on the go and simulate the actual
examination.This book is ideal not only for those preparing for the
ABSITE, but also for surgeons and residents studying for the general
surgery qualifying exam and for all surgical residents seeking to review
key topics during rotations.
