N2  - This surgical textbook attempts to explain the pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases and of their management to bridge the gap between the basic medical sciences and clinical problems. It uses a problem-solving rather than a disease-oriented approach to diagnosis and treatment. H G Burkitt, medical author, Sydney, Australia
