Preface:

Clinical surgery in its new edition is much more 

than a facelift. It is the outcome of a major 

collective effort based on regular meetings of the 

five editors with the publishers

at which format, content and layout were discussed.

Admittedly, completion of the second edition has taken

longer than anticipated, but the delay has been worthwhile.

Although the basic structure of the first edition has

been retained, the rewrites, alterations and new material

have been based on feedback from our readers specially

commissioned by our publishers before work on the

second edition commenced in earnest. The needs and

comments expressed by students and house officers who

took part in the feedback on each and every chapter

(favourable or otherwise) were kept firmly in mind by

the authors and editors during the redrafting process.

Consequently, the editors are confident that all defects

and criticisms have been met and the second edition has

no serious shortcomings.
