Written and edited by expert surgeons in collaboration with a world-renowned anatomist, this exquisitely illustrated reference consolidates surgical, anatomical, and technical knowledge for the entire human body in a single volume. Part of the highly respected Gray's family of texts and atlases, this fully revised and updated resource brings to life the applied anatomical knowledge that is critically important in the operating theatre, with a high level of detail to ensure safe and effective surgical practice. Gray's Surgical Anatomy, 2nd Edition, is unique in the field—serving as a textbook of regional anatomy as well as an atlas for operative procedures—making it an invaluable practical resource for surgeons and surgical trainees at all levels of experience, as well as medical students, radiologists, and anatomists.
Gray's Surgical Anatomy is especially appropriate for surgeons in training, and has become the “go-to” five-star text for postgraduate examinations where candidates are required to demonstrate a knowledge of applied surgical anatomy.
