This book aims to provide the surgical students, interns and trainees working in general surgical units with the essential facts and the outlines of diagnosis and management of commonly encountered diseases in the field of general surgery.

The book is divided into two sections: the first touches on some selected aspects of principles of surgery and the second covers common surgical diseases of various systems. There is no attempt made to cover any other surgical specialties outside the scope of pure general surgery. However, attempts are made to curtail descriptive text to a minimum and presents facts in a bullet form for clarity and quick revision. The book can, therefore, be used as a compact aid to revision, and a quick pocket reference by the users.
