The management of injured and acutely unwell patients remains a cornerstone of surgical practice. Although techniques for assessment, investigation and operative management of the emergency surgical patient may be drawn from elective practice; they also require expediency of decision making and constant consideration of both anatomical and physiological pathology. Hamilton Bailey's Emergency Surgery 14e is the famous textbook of emergency surgery that defines these key principles.

Reflecting huge changes in the practice of emergency and general surgery over recent years, this new edition of Hamilton Bailey's Emergency Surgery is designed to meet the needs of basic and higher surgical trainees. The thorough and diverse coverage of emergency surgical principles including important anaesthetic and physiological considerations and the use of damage control techniques alongside core topics in emergency surgery such as shock and response to injury, surgical infections, principles of wound management and nutrition ensure that the clinician has evidence-based medicine to rely on. The extensive range of trauma surgery chapters cover all the surgical subspecialties as they relate to emergency surgery providing comprehensive coverage of acute care surgery.

The new edition of this highly regarded textbook on emergency surgery provides the necessary knowledge and evidence base to help the on-call surgical trainee through the important decision-making process when treating acute surgical patients. In addition to guidance on relevant investigations and surgical techniques, emphasis is also placed on those non-technical skills including leadership and communication which are essential for the management of unwell patients.

General surgeons and those working in the emergency setting will benefit from the gold standard expertise provided in the 14th edition of Hamilton Bailey's Emergency Surgery.
