The definition of an ideal surgeon according to the ancient and distinguished Sushruta is “A person who possesses courage and presence of mind, a hand free from perspiration, tremorless grip of sharp and good instruments and who carries his operations to the success and advantage of his patient who has entrusted his life to the surgeon. The surgeon should respect this absolute surrender …” The book Postgraduate Surgery attempts to guide the young budding surgeons and veer them to the accurate direction to achieve these qualities by sharing the wisdom and experience of more than hundred eminent authors.
This book is enhanced in every way, with diversity of authors and chapters, schematic illustrations and original clinical and operative photographs, highlighted boxes, and surgical tips. Useful but less discussed topics such as “How to become a good surgical resident?”, “How to write synopsis/dissertation?”, “Radiology for the surgical residents”, and “Pathology for the surgical residents” make this book unique.
This book is designed in such a manner that within these 61 chapters, basic principles and organ systems are almost covered in a well-organized manner. We intend to make Postgraduate Surgery an up-to-date and comprehensive ready reference for the postgraduate trainees in surgery.
We hope that the students will find this book useful and interesting and helpful to navigate the rapidly expanding surgical knowledge
