The Surgical Word Book, 2e

Thousands of entries make this book a valuable, pocket-sized reference guide. More than 60,000 surgical terms are spelled out and arranged alphabetically for quick retrieval. More than 275 important categories--such as anesthetics, positions, sutures, procedures, prostheses, abraders--have extensive sublistings that are fully cross referenced. Eponymic names are fully covered, and potentially confusing terms--Trendelenburg position, Bateman prosthesis, and so forth--are cross referenced.
