Clinical Scenarios in Surgery is a practical, case-based guide designed to strengthen these essential skills through realistic patient cases and evidence-based clinical discussions.
Using a problem-solving approach, this book presents a wide range of common and complex surgical scenarios, guiding readers through patient assessment, differential diagnosis, operative planning, surgical management, and postoperative care. Each case emphasizes clinical reasoning, helping readers develop the confidence to make informed decisions in real-world surgical practice.
