✦ Synopsis

Amsterdam: De Eruen Bohn B V. No price given.

A PATIENT referred to a specialist will often ask the opinion of his general practitioner on suggested surgical treatment. This book, written in Dutch, aims to bring the general practitioner up to date on the recent developments in the surgical field. The author gives a survey of general surgery including traumatology, orthopaedics, urology and cardiovascular surgery. In some ways the book is comparable to Taylor and Cotton's Short Textbook of Surgery, although less attention is given to the pathophysiological basis of diseases. It combines the advantages and disadvantages of being written by one author. On the other hand, a comparatively complete survey of the Dutch surgical literature of the past 10 years is obtained.
