 | Recent Advances in Surgery 31 The Royal Society of Medicine Press is delighted to publish Recent Advances in Surgery 31, which is part of the successful and well established Recent Advances series. This title is updated annually, covering the latest trends within surgery and reflecting any changes to the professional examinations for surgeons. It provides a comprehensive survey of up-to-date knowledge for candidates of the MRCS/AFRCS examinations, and forms a useful update of general surgery for candidates of the Intercollegiate Examination. The contributors are recognised experts in their particular field and they provide in-depth reviews of important topics relevant to the management of all surgical patients and advancing areas in surgical subspecialties.
Review from previous edition:
'...recommended to all candidates for certification of general surgery. Furthermore, more specialist surgeons will find it helpful both in the management of patients and in discussions with other specialists within multidisciplinary teams.'
