Mind Maps in Surgery Books Description

Mind Maps in Surgery uses a concise and visually stimulating method, Mind Maps, to teach the reader the main topics in surgery. Each Mind Map covers a particular topic, disease, or condition; and includes the various aspects of a surgical disorder such as its pathophysiology, etiology, symptoms and signs, investigations, differential diagnosis, and management. In addition to covering the major types of surgery, the book contains chapters on the management of acutely ill patients and surgical patients, which is of vital importance for the reader.

Instead of presenting the information in seemingly endless, lengthy text, the book is thoughtfully and carefully structured so that it contains only the essential knowledge.

There is also a practical section on “lines and tubes” that will come in handy for ward rounds in other clerkships.

The outside margins contain mnemonics, diagrams, summary or warning statements and tips. Tips are denoted by .
