Description
Revised and updated by one of America's most distinguished gastrointestinal surgeons, this classic textbook presents the basic and unchanging principles of prompt, accurate diagnosis while incorporating many new observations drawn from the author's extensive experience. Cope's emphasis on clinical diagnosis by direct examination, his highly readable writing style, and the book's overall structure are all retained. The new edition contains a chapter on the use of laboratory and radiologic tests as well as many new illustrations.
