The Internet has proven to be a great resource for the medical community. This text will focus specifically on the Internet needs of surgeons, educating them on how to use the Internet in their day-to-day practice and life. Topics such as the history of the Internet, terminology, hardware and software, search engines, e-mail, clinical trials, literature searches, telemedicine, patient information, and webpages will be covered in depth. A centerpiece of the book will be the extensive lists of annotated surgery-specific Internet sites, as well as general health-related Internet sites and department of surgery sites. The accompanying CD-ROM will provide instant access to all of these sites. This unique compilation of surgery-specific information will be invaluable to every surgeon wishing to make effective and efficient use of the Internet for their practice.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"This text is an introductory review on the Internet and computers, specifically aimed at surgeons. It successfully synthesizes the information that is of interest to surgeons ... . It is highly recommended as an excellent educational resource for surgeons who are starting to gain experience with computers and the Internet. It provides an important key to unlocking the gates to the information highway that surgeons are increasingly required to traverse." (M. Elahi, European Journal of Plastic Surgery, Vol. 26 (4), 2003)
