Overview

For generations of trainees and surgeons at all levels of experience, Sabiston Textbook of Surgery: The Biological Basis of Modern Surgical Practice has been the go-to text for definitive guidance on every aspect of general surgery. As the oldest continuously published textbook of surgery in North America, the fully revised 22nd Edition continues to provide the key information, essential teaching pearls, and updated content needed to make the most informed surgical decisions and achieve optimal outcomes for patients. Concisely written and evidence-based throughout, it covers the breadth of material required for certification and practice of general surgery, highlighted by detailed, full-color intraoperative illustrations and high-quality video clips. Provides detailed, practical answers and quickly accessible clinical content for surgeons at all levels, across all subspecialties-offering a one-stop, complete reference throughout a surgeon’s career, including information needed for residency and board certification. Contains new chapters on minimally invasive surgery, endoscopic techniques, simulation, and AI, as well as expanded discussions of robotic and minimally invasive approaches to surgical procedures. Follows a clear, consistent progression beginning with principles common to surgical specialties including fluid and electrolyte management, metabolic support, and wound healing; subsequent sections review the management of injury, transplantation, oncology, breast, endocrine, and abdominal procedures. Presents the underlying science and its clinical application to make informed surgical decisions and achieve optimal outcomes. Covers topics encountered by general surgery residents in training as well as in-depth coverage of subspecialty areas including head and neck, thoracic, vascular, urology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, and gynecology. Provides access to more than two dozen high-quality surgical procedure and technique videos (many are new!), new podcast-style audio resources, more than 2,000 superb images, and hundreds of quick-reference tables, boxes, and algorithms.
