I am a full time faculty surgeon for a surgical residency program. We purchased this book for our residents based upon its previous excellent performance and very recent publication. I have been reading various surgical texts for year including Sabiston and this edition is a disappointment.There are the usual mispellings and grammatical errors which seem to be more frequent than one might expect. In addition however, in more than one chapter are sentences which just don't make sense. An example: Page 122 Sabiston 19th ed "As a source of calories, 1 g of carbohydrate yields 3.4 kcal (16kJ) of protein, and 4 kcal (17kJ) yields 9kcal(37kJ) of fat." Or this example: Reference to a table on page 1711 (table 63-6), which although present in another chapter, has no bearing on the subject at hand.Surgical texbooks such as Sabiston form the underpinning of resident surgical education. Residents exposed to this material for the first time should not have to wonder what a sentence truly means or where a table or figure might be. The content is good and the illustrations are very good, but for nearly $200, I would have expected a better job of editing, especially for a text with the previously excellent reputation of Sabiston.
I am the owner of a 17th edition...excellent book in its time when i was a medical student rotating in surgery. The 18th came out....but i had the computerized version so i upgraded naturally. I eventually decided I was fed up reading it on a screen so i pre-ordered this 19th edition since nov/dec 2011 hoping it would be better than the 18th. Eager to open the box like a child on christmas day, I started reading it. As a surgical resident, this book is not a step down but a probably ten floors down from what it should be.Comparing the 17th and 18th to this 19th edition: alot of vital and critical information has been omitted. In fact if you read this you are likely to not to benefit much in terms of new knowledge. If this is your first sabiston then you may be like wow buy if you know what the potential of this book was previously....you may probably fling the 19th edition out the window.In my opinion this is a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT for me and a waste of USD $160.49. I can even sell it cause its underpar and no other surgical resident will want it. I regret not buying the 18th edition instead.If you are a medical student and want a brief overview....good book for you.If you want to be a surgeon, poor book, they have skipped over alot of pathophysiology, surgical anatomy, anomalies, etc....its a long list. This book is just a disaster.anyway the choice is yours and you were informed.
I bought this book because it was "required reading" for my third-year surgery clerkship, but I was thoroughly disappointed that it was recommended. It is clear after reading a few chapters that this book is not meant for medical students and is written more for surgery residents and perhaps surgeons themselves.After getting through no less than thirty-three chapters (that's almost half the book--yikes), I realized that while I was learning technical details about gastric banding and colon resection, I was neglecting to focus on what medical students should be focusing on--the basics of preop/postop care, when to use medical vs. surgical management, principles of anesthesia, and a few basic ideas on surgical treatment. I switched to using "First Aid for the Surgery Clerkship", whose length and content were much more appropriate for studying for the shelf exam.Aside from that, it is difficult for me to critically assess the content because I am not a surgeon or intending to pursue surgery. However, there were a lot of grammatical errors and misspellings that didn't do much to instill confidence in the reader. At worst, the plethora of errors comes of as ignorant; at best, it reads as careless and rushed.I'll finish by saying that this book does have a place, but not for a medical student. I have several clinical textbooks (Harrison's and Cecil's among them), but this one is just too technical and detailed for those of us not intending to pursue surgical specialties post-medical school. This is worth saying since it is one of the listed books in many surgical clerkship syllabi, and while mildly useful as an occasional reference, should not be used as the main source for clerkship exam preparation.
Four stars only for the illustrations style. It has become worse this time than in previous editions, in my humble opinion...
Books arrived safely, though pages were folded over (pet-peeve of mine.) Aside from that, thanks!
I got this books for son who is in med school in Ghana and is helping him a lot
I started using this book when I started my postgrad training in surgery. It has been very useful throughout- gives much background information without being tedious. It is generally an easy read- lots of tables to simplify information and has much practical information.
This is a good book to begin learning surgery with but the editing is terrible with many sentences that does not make sense, probably some lousy copy/paste and new additions from the old edition.After all it has all the right materials but a considerable snout of time you have to wonder what exactly did the writer mean to say....
