A well-drawn, classic surgical atlas that includes most general surgical procedures. A definite must have for any surgical resident or general surgeon.
I would like to see more procedures added however to make it truly exceptional: an update on breast surgery, including biopsy, expanded laparoscopic techniques, basic thoracic procedures - thoracotomy, lung biopsy, and VATS.

Zollinger's features very good illustrations and notes (including postoperative care) for nearly every imaginable procedure in gastrointestinal surgery (including exotic and complex operations such as total pancreatectomy and Klatskin tumour resections), short of bariatric surgery. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, fundoplication and splenectomy are covered as well.
However, information is sorely lacking on breast surgery (all we get are descriptions of modified radical mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy; useful, but no mention of conservative breast surgery), head and neck surgery (limited to near-total thyroidectomy and radical neck dissection) and thoracic surgery (posterolateral thoracotomy and that's it). No information *at all* on urology (as a resident, I'd gladly trade my plates on total pancreatectomy for a few on nephrectomy, nephrostomy and cystostomy). Gynecologic and vascular procedures are adequately covered.
In my copy, there is nothing on page 391 (Plate CLXXXIII on posterolateral thoracotomy is blank).
So, as a resident, Zollinger's won't be quite as useful as I expected, given the limited range of non-gastrointestinal general surgical procedures covered. However, I suspect I will make good use of its excellent in-depth coverage of gastrointestinal surgery.

Truely one of the most successful books of the kind, the strucure is well designed, the operations included cover a eide range of procedures, and most noticeble is the very high quality of the explanatory figures, sometimes by just brawsing through them you get 80% of what to do... the text is well written and concise. You will find many approaches for each operation. of course it will be impossible to gather all the surgical craft in one book. but this one succeeds in collecting a large chunk of it. i highly recommend it for all juniors and postgrads alike.
