Reviews of last edition

“This book is ideal for finals as diagrams help the revision numbed mind to retain information. It is extremely quick and easy to read and the list-based information is an ideal basis for short-answer questions.”
Barts and the London Chronicle

“Delightful book…the quality of the diagrams is such that for the majority of topics the text is almost superfluous.”
British Journal of Surgery
