2. The Reader With a Comprehensive
Understanding of Surgical
(PDF) Book
Surgery: A Case Based Clinical Review provides the reader with a
comprehensive understanding of surgical diseases in one easy to use
reference that combines multiple teaching formats. The book begins
using a case based approach. The cases presented cover the diseases
most commonly encountered on a surgical rotation. The cases are
designed to provide the reader with the classic findings on history and
physical examination. The case presentation is followed by a series of
short questions and answers, designed to provide further
understanding of the important aspects of the history, physical
examination, differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up and
management, as well as questions that may arise on surgical rounds.
Key figures and tables visually reinforce the important elements of
the disease process. A brief algorithmic flow chart is provided so the
reader can quickly understand the optimal management approach.
Two additional special sections further strengthen the student’s
comprehension. The first section covers areas of controversy in the
diagnosis or management of each disease, and another section
discusses pitfalls to avoid, where the inexperienced clinician might get
in trouble. The text concludes with a series of multiple choice
questions in a surgery shelf/USMLE format with robust explanations.
Surgery: A Case Based Clinical Review is based on 20 years of
Socratic medical student teaching by a nine-time Golden Apple
teaching awardee from the UCLA School of Medicine and will be of
great utility for medical students when they rotate on surgery,
3. interns, physician assistant students, nursing students and nurse
practitioner students.
“The book is intended to ‘help you make a great impression on your
surgery clerkship and to help you prepare for the shelf examinations.’
… This will be most useful for students and junior residents.
Attending faculty may find it of value as a source of ideas for
questions to ask during rounds! … This is an excellent value for the
price. It far surpasses standard pearl books
Surgery was my first clerkship of the year. After hearing about how
hard the shelf exam can be (and that most of it is Medicine), I felt
that the famed Pestana book wouldn't be enough. A friend mentioned
this book, and I also found it referenced a few times on Student
Doctor Network. I took the plunge.
Very thankful I made that decision. This book contains the answer to
almost every (reasonable) question you'll get pimped on during the
clerkship and served as a phenomenal tool for preparation for the
shelf. It's a hefty book, so you'll need to start early, but it's worth it. I
would try to read about a chapter a night (some days I would skip
and make up for on the weekend). Don't necessarily go in order. I
would highly suggest reading chapters relevant to the cases you have
the next day...you'll look like a rockstar most of the time.

4. This book saved my butt during my surgery rotation. Its
information is easy to absorbed, uptodate and concise
without missing any details. A lot of the questions it
discusses are exact questions I received from my residents
and attendings. My favorite part of the book is that at the
end of each chapter, it provides 5-6 literature references to
look at for more information. I have learned 3rd year that
many residents expect you to know and have read the
studies that lead to our guidelines and this book provides
an easy way to do that.
I got this book for my surgery rotation in medical school.
This is a great book. It has enough detail and is outlined
in a concise and organized manner. I used this solely to
pass my oral exams and was the main reading material for
my shelf exam as well.
Organization: Book is split into chapters based on major
surgery topics: upper gi bleed, lower gi bleed, vascular,
urology, etc. Each chapter is split into 2-5 case vignettes
that starts with a one liner. Each case then goes on to
explain typical presentations, the reason behind the
symptoms, and how you'd differentiate between a great
differential that they provide. This style fit my oral exams
so well that I didn't need anything else.
5. This vs pastanas? - listen, pastanas reads like someones
notes with scant explanations behind many things. This
book is concise but provides the explanations for you.
Moreover, they go through tricky parts of each surgical
case and finishes each case with a outline of major points.
If you're looking for something more in depth than
pastans, this is it. This book does not explain how to do
procedures unless it's relent to being tested on the shelf.
So this is a shelf and oral exam resource. This is not a
resource to learn techniques or methods of surgical
techniques.

7. How To Read Book The Surgical Service
This was an absolutely fantastic book, specifically
designed for 3rd year medical students preparing for
their SHELF. It's concise but packed with all the
necessary information for an M3 on the surgical
service. I would even say it might be a good refresher
for surgery interns prior to their residency/4th year
medical students going into a surgical specialty.
