Editorial Review:This concise volume gives you a comprehensive review of both general surgery and surgical subspecialties in a user-friendly, question-and-answer format. Thoroughly revised, this 4th edition adds new chapters and updates existing chapters while maintaining its broad review of surgical topics. This ensures the questions offer a wide-ranging and complete review of the information most important to you. The Rush University Review is perfect for residents in training; surgeons preparing for certification or recertification exams, and experienced clinicians wishing to keep abreast of current advances.

Contains more than 1,500 review questions -- with answers and rationales -- that cover the full range of topics in general and subspecialty surgery, all the information surgeons need to prepare for board certification and recertification ... or to stay current with new advances.
Matches the format of the boards, with every question in the "single best-answer" or "initial best-answer" format, making the Rush University Review an ideal board-preparation tool.

Includes new chapters on preoperative care, the acute abdomen, complications, morbid obesity, transmissible diseases and the surgeon, principles of laparoscopy, and principles of ultrasonography.
Offers updated coverage of colon surgery, surgical technology, and genetics.

- review of surgery
This is a great product. I found out why it was only a dollar. It is the outdated edition. Was updated in 2006. This is the 2000 edition. It was in new condition however.

- good book to read befor the exam
amazing and to the point of basic and general surgery topics that can be reviewed befor the written exam.

Rating:

- good review for the absite
good review for absite because the questions are harder. do not really appreciate the multiple choice questions that have more than one answer correct. great explanation of answers, both right and wrong ones, using pertinent information assumed in the question. best way to use this as a younger resident is to read and gain valuable information, especially in the earlier questions of each chapter, rather than bogging yourself down with trying to answer the multiple-multiple more than one answer ...

- essential for the Absite
Although the format of the questions is different than the Absite, the info is great. Tough questions with plenty of info to keep you busy. Aim to finish this book before the Absite and you'll be well-prepared (at least for the lower levels).

- Board Review
I used this book ten years ago to study for the ABSITE was very pleased. I am very disappointed with the current edition. There are many typographical errors suggesting poor editing. The question and answer format is very difficult to figure out if they are looking for one or more answers. I would recommend the book as a very basic guide to get used to taking a test but I would no longer hold it as an authority. Many answers will require extensive cross referencing to validate.
