This book is very useful in my Urgent Care Practice. It takes you by the hand and gives you the confidence you need for wound closure in every part of the body. To do better would require an onsite on-hand conference for a few days, which is time I don't have

A chapter on wound care and suturing within a larger text on procedures Physician Assistants perform repeatedly referenced text and illustrations from this textbook by Dr. Trott. So I purchased the source material. To say that it exceeds my expectations is lame praise. This is simply an outstanding resource - clear, incredibly well-illustrated, concise without omitting any needful material. A superlative reference for anyone closing traumatic or surgical wounds.

Nice book, easy to read with good explanations. This book is a good reference for anyone having to close wounds in the ED. I would say this book provides more than nursing skills, (one chapter is even dedicated just to irrigating techniques and the research behind the best solutions to use). However, if you are just wanting to learn how to tie, go to you tube.

Once in a while I buy a book that is extraordinary. Alexander Trott's is one of them. This book is not only useful for persons working in emergency care, but is excellent for just about everyone. Every parent should read it to cope properly with the unavoidable injuries of their kids. Normally books of this caliber are expensive, but this book at 54 $ and in a library binding is a bargain not to be missed. I will use and treasure this book as long as I live.

should have been required in medical school rotations. you could learn and combine your own techniques with this great review, instead of relying on basically what you learn from residents/attendings

Great book. There is so much information on chronic wound management; this is the best text I have found on traumatic wound management,

This is a great book and probably one of the best for laceration repair. It's a must for all urgent care or emergency docs.

Superb; the book exceeded my expectations in it's efficient use of words and high quality illustrations. Highly recommend.
