Main description:

This manual is a complete guide to surgical anatomy for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students.

Beginning with an overview of general anatomy, the next chapters each discuss a different section of the body, from superior and inferior extremities, to abdomen, thorax, and head, neck and brain.

The following chapters cover histology, genetics, embryology, and imaging, with a final section on special topics for postgraduate students preparing for examinations.

Every chapter features an outline of the topic, short notes, points to remember, and explanatory notes, and concludes with surface anatomy.

The text is highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams, surface markings and tables.
