This book is written for both undergraduate and post-graduate students as a learning resource to use alongside other standard textbooks to crystallize one's surgical knowledge. There are multiple surgical cases of different specialties organised in a question-and-answer format.

Learning though cases encourage students to apply factual knowledge to what they encounter in clinical practice. The case scenarios run through a logical sequence of interpreting history and clinical findings, generating differential diagnoses, formulating investigation options and administering management plans.
