Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - good review for the absite
good review for absite because the questions are harder. do not really appreciate the multiple choice questions that have more than one answer correct. great explanation of answers, both right and wrong ones, using pertinent information assumed in the question
Rating:  - essential for the Absite
Although the format of the questions is different than the Absite, the info is great. Tough questions with plenty of info to keep you busy. Aim to finish this book before the Absite and you'll be well-prepared (at least for the lower levels).
Rating:  - Board Review
I used this book ten years ago to study for the ABSITE was very pleased. I am very disappointed with the current edition. There are many typographical errors suggesting poor editing. The question and answer format is very difficult to figure out if they are looking for one or more answers. I would recommend the book as a very basic guide to get used to taking a test but I would no longer hold it as an authority. Many answers will require extensive cross referencing to validate.
Rating: - real text book
It covers all essential chapters in surgery,in a systemaic way from the basic scinces to the sub-speciality.
i used this book for reviewing for my board exam. and i passed with a real v.good score.
Rating: - Rush University Review of Surgery
I would say that for my intern year,this book helped a lot to study the significant topics. It is a good tool to have for the ABSITE, more comprehensive than just a regular Q&A book.
