Editorial Review:
This book will help you take a badly wounded patient to the operating room, organize yourself and your team, do battle with some vicious injuries, and come out with the best possible result. It is a practical guide to operative trauma surgery for residents and registrars, for general surgeons with an interest in trauma, and for isolated surgeons operating on wounded patients in military, rural, or humanitarian settings. A surgical atlas may show you what to do with your hands - but not how to think, plan, and improvise. Here you will find practical advice on how to use your head as well as your hands when operating on a massively bleeding trauma patient.

Rating:  - Superb "how to act in emergencies" book
This book, subtitled "The art & craft of trauma surgery" is a gem. Worth every penny (or whatever coins you spend). A very practical book on how to handle major trauma of all organ systems, which first directs your thoughts and then your hands.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book not for the "how to do it"aspects of the book but for the "why to do it this way at this point in time" aspect.

Um bom trabalho, livro de fácil entendimento e leitura. Lamento apenas a falta de detalhamento em vias aéreas.

overall a good book, with many practical tips. illustations are also good. i found the colloquial style irritating. ie. "The distal pancreas can be easily resected, while the pancreatic head requires a very big whack." These sort of practical manuals are valuable to practicing surgeons who know how to operate but can improve outcomes with the thinking portion of the operation, the art and craft of surgery.
Rating: - Top Knife is a Top Book
Truly outstanding book for anyone providing surgical care to trauma patients. We've decided to purchase a copy for each of our senior residents so they will definitely read it. Easy to read. Practical knowledge and techniques, evidence based where possible, experienced base always. It reinforced much I've learned in 25 years of trying to teach trauma surgery and taught me new tricks and concepts.
