Note From The Author:
The Humble Beginning Made In The First Three Editions Of This Book Got A Tremendous Morale Boost By The Total Patronage From All My Students. However There Was A Lull In The Activity Of The Publication Of The Fourth Edition Due To Serious Lack Of Time To Spare For The Organization Of The Edition. Even Though Many Of My Present And Past Students Came Forward To Support The Edition, There Was An Unavoidable Time Lag. However, Though Late, Several Improvements Have Been Made In This Edition And More Photographs Have Been Added To Make The Learning Process Lively. This Will Help The Book To Reach Medical Students All Over The Country And Abroad. If The Students Have Benefitted During The Lectures, I Feel Then This Book Will Form A Ready Reckoner For A Beginner In Surgery And For The Student Preparing For The Undergraduate Or Post Graduate Surgery Examination In India Or Abroad.
Several Modifications Have Been Made In The Fourth Edition To Keep Abreast With Mordern Technological Development In The Medical Field. Simplicity Is The Hallmark Of Learning For The Beginner In Surgery. So Controversies In The Field Are Deliberately Excluded. However, Some Of The Controversial Points Have Been Added In Boxes To Reach The Post Graduate Students Who Need To Have An Idea Of These.
Of Course, A Lot More Of Improvement Can Still Be Done In The Next Edition. Suggestions From All Quarters On Improving The Book Would Be Most Welcome.
My Students Have Continued Their Support For The Work On Publication Of This Edition. Many Of The Diagrams Were Prepared By My Students. I Specifically Thank Dr. A Jasmin, Dr. Joshua, Hamna, Geetanjali Mohandas, Uma Devi And Lekshmi For The Tireless Work In Organising This Edition.
I Finally Thank My Wife And Children For Their Continued Tolerance To My Untilising Time Meant For Them For The Sake Of My Students.
