Surgeons are some of the most admired people in society. Their skill and hard work literally save lives, and their long hours and dedication to the job are truly impressive.
It’s amazing to think that so much of that work all begins with book study. Thanks to the many surgeons who have come before, there’s a wealth of knowledge to be found amongst medical surgery books, from the introductory level to the expert.

One of the most popular general surgery books available is Anatomy General Surgical Operations. This title is designed for candidates for the Fellowship in General Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons, and covers the anatomical knowledge necessary for the 45 most common procedures.

For example, a popular title in orthopaedics is McRae’s Orthopaedic Trauma and Emergency Fracture Management.

In transplant surgery, a best-selling title is Biomarkers in Kidney Transplantation. It goes into depth about biomarkers that predict early rejection of kidney transplants, as well as the different types of rejections, and possible sources of errors in measuring biomarkers.
The surgical techniques section includes titles such as Ear Surgery Illustrated. This book is a comprehensive atlas of otologic microsurgical techniques, and is written by renowned surgeon Robert Jackler. With the help of more than 1,100 precise illustrations, this title is an in-depth guide to a broad range of microsurgical approaches and surgical procedures.
