'ACS Surgery' has been developed to help practicing surgeons make critical decisions on patient care. It is an evidence-based reference of surgical best practices from leaders in the field.

Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Surgery, Vol. 1: Being a Treatise on Surgical Diseases and Injuries The present volume is the first part of a work on the Principles and Practice of Surgery. For a quarter of a century I have been unceasingly occupied with the study of anatomy and surgery, and during most of that time have been actively engaged, as a public instructor, in communicating the great teach ings of these closely-allied branches, in the hospitals of Philadelphia and in the halls of the University of Pennsylvania, to thousands of young men from all parts of the United States and to many from foreign countries. Most of the pages have been written, not in what may be termed moments of leisure, but during the hours of the night, - hours stolen from the time usually allotted to the repose of body and mind, and after the daily labors of an exacting public and private practice.

The second edition of this encyclopedic, 8-volume reference covers the complete spectrum of plastic surgery--from the basic principles to surgery of the nose, breast, and ear, plus aesthetic facial surgery and liposuction. Updates throughout capture the state of the art in all areas of science, technique, and technology. Greatly expanded coverage of cosmetic surgery mirrors the increased number of aesthetic procedures now being performed. The two volumes on plastic surgery of the head and neck feature full-color photographs throughout, to help readers visualize key concepts, procedures, and outcomes.

The Fifth Edition of Greenfield's Surgery has been thoroughly revised, updated, and refocused to conform to changes in surgical education and practice. Reflecting the increasingly clinical emphasis of residency programs, this edition features expanded coverage of clinical material and increased use of clinical algorithms. Key Points open each chapter, and icons in the text indicate where Key Points are fully discussed. Many of the black-and-white images from the previous edition have been replaced by full-color images. This edition has new chapters on quality assessment, surgical education, and surgical processes in the hospital. Coverage of surgical subspecialty areas is more sharply focused on topics that are encountered by general surgeons and included in the current general surgery curriculum and ABSITE exam. The vascular section has been further consolidated. A new editor, Diane M. Simeone, MD, PhD, has joined the editorial team. This edition is available either in one hardbound volume or in a four-volume softbound set. The lightweight four-volume option offers easy portability and quick access. Each volume is organized by organ system so you can find the facts you need within seconds. The companion website presents the fully searchable text, an instant-feedback test bank featuring over 800 questions and answers, and a comprehensive image bank. Unique to this new edition's website are 100 "Morbidity and Mortality" case discussions. Each case reviews a specific surgical complication, how the complication was addressed, and reviews the literature on approaches and outcomes.

Excerpt from Surgery, Vol. 1: Its Principles and Practice My thanks are especially due to Professor J. Chalmers Da Costa, whose ripe surgical knowledge, advice, and practical aid have been and will continue to be of inestimable value. That the publishers have given generous help, this volume is the best evidence. They have cheerfully cooperated from the very first, and have spared no expense, especially in the many illustrations. The other four volumes will follow as rapidly as they can be printed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
