Definitive chirurgische Erstversorgung

In emergency situations appropriate surgical procedures are critical, as life-threatening complications can otherwise arise post-operatively. Every physician, therefore, should be well-versed in the basic tenets of emergency medicine and surgical first-aid.

“Definitive chirurgische Erstversorgung” by G. H. Willital and A. Holzgreve – an established classic in a new edition – provides valuable orientation for every surgically active physician. The book covers all diseases and accidents which might make emergency surgical intervention necessary. The surgical procedures for each case are systematically structured and presented in a clear and concise manner for rapid consultation.
