Bailey & Love’s Short Practice of Surgery 27th Edition (2018)
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
The preliminary chapters cover basic surgical principles, investigations and perioperative care. The chapters on basic principles include research, ethics and patient safety. Tissue engineering was also highlighted in one chapter. Injuries to the limbs, disaster and war surgery were discussed in the chapters on trauma. I found the chapters on disaster and war surgery enlightening. The organisational aspects of disaster management starting with the chain of command to definitive treatment was clarified. In war, the predominant cause of injuries was from explosions rather than gunshots. The mechanism of blast injuries including from improvised explosive devices were clearly explained.
