This significant new edition of Schwartz's Principles of Surgery marks a milestone achievement in the education of surgeons. Driven by a dynamic new editorial board, the eighth edition features an unparalleled amount of new information, a new two-color design and new clarity, numerous new authors, surgical techniques, and coverage of a variety of cutting-edge topics. Yet Schwartz maintains its historic leadership, standing alone in providing the solid grounding in basic science,anatomy, and operative techniques so key to the education and success of any surgeon.
