All procedures are richly illustrated in colour to import greater understanding and a more immersive experience to readers.With chapters on operative procedures and challenging scenarios faced, medical undergraduates and junior doctors will also find this book useful as it provides in-depth practical knowledge that will be invaluable to them as they embark on their own training and practice.
