Features: General surgery can be said to be the core of surgery, encompassing all injuries and diseases except for specialized fields (such as neurosurgery, cardiology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and otolaryngology). Especially in hospitals with a tier level of three or lower, surgical departments are not yet well-defined, and general surgery covers the entire scope of surgical practice. General surgeons are thus the "all-around surgeons" in the public's eyes. Regardless of the hospital level, general surgeons have traditionally undertaken a large amount of clinical tasks. In emergency situations and disaster rescue operations, as well as in special circumstances like counter-terrorism and warfare, general surgeons play a crucial role. This book is part of the Clinical Physicians Pocket Series, condensing common injuries and diseases in the field of general surgery (including some cutting-edge medical activities) into a portable, easy-to-read "pocket book" to meet the needs of young doctors in their clinical work. It covers basic surgery, general surgical diseases, and common techniques and procedures in general surgery.
