Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, the NMS Surgery Casebook, 3rd Edition provides medical students and surgical rotation candidates with structured practice in patient management decision-making. Authored by Bruce Jarrell, Stephen M. Kravic, and Eric D. Strauch, this casebook presents a series of surgical cases that guide readers step by step through realistic clinical scenarios.
Initial chapters concentrate on essential perioperative management principles, including preoperative assessment, postoperative care, and wound healing mechanics. The text then transitions into regional surgical pathology, covering thoracic, cardiothoracic, vascular, upper and lower gastrointestinal, hepatic, pancreatic, and endocrine disorders, alongside skin conditions, hernias, breast pathology, trauma, burns, sepsis, and pediatric surgical problems.
Full-color design features and radiographic images accompany the case narratives to support clinical visual interpretation. Tailored for surgical clerkships and USMLE Step 2 review, the volume incorporates dedicated practice questions and study aids to help learners evaluate patient presentations and master critical surgical associations.
