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.- Expert content written by surgeons for surgeons, overseen by co-editors and internationally recognised surgeons Peter A. Brennan and Sam Wiseman, with all anatomical detail quality assured by co-editor and Gray's Anatomy Editor-in-Chief, Susan Standring; section editors and contributors are global leaders in areas such as head and neck surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and general surgery- Features superb colour photographs from the operating theatre, accompanied by detailed explanatory artwork and figures from the latest imaging modalities, plus summary tables, dozens of cadaveric and intra-operative videos, up-to-date self-assessment questions, and case-based scenarios—making it an ideal reference and learning package for surgeons and trainees at all levels- Reflects contemporary practice with chapters logically organised by anatomical region, designed for relevance to surgeons across a wide range of subspecialties, practice types, and clinical settings, and aligned with the requirements of current surgical training curricula- Contains new sections on Surgical Anatomy Teaching: Evidenced Based Approaches; Moral Injury/Moral Damage; Endovascular Surgery; and Gender Reassignment Surgery/Transgender Surgery; as well as enhanced coverage of human factors and minimising error; the root of the neck; vascular anatomy; considerations relevant to robotic surgery; and much more- Maximises day-to-day practical application with depictions of key anatomical features and relationships that are essential for safe surgical practice throughout, as well as clearly signposted "Tips and Anatomical Hazards"- Integrates essential anatomy for robotic and minimal access approaches, including laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques- Provides online access to supplementary operative and cadaveric dissections videos and self-assessment material to bring content to life, add further clarity, and test your understanding of key surgical anatomy concepts
