About this book

Sabiston Textbook of Surgery The Biological Basis of Modern Surgical Practice 22nd edition by Douglas S. Tyler provides comprehensive guidance on the scientific foundations and clinical practice of surgery. The book connects biological mechanisms, disease processes, diagnostic evaluation, operative decision making, perioperative management, and postoperative care to support informed surgical treatment across general surgery.

The 22nd edition covers core surgical principles, perioperative care, trauma, critical care, surgical infections, oncology, gastrointestinal surgery, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, vascular surgery, transplantation, breast and endocrine surgery, and other major areas of operative practice. Subspecialty coverage includes head and neck surgery, thoracic surgery, urology, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, and gynecology, with new material on endoscopic techniques, simulation, artificial intelligence, robotic surgery, and minimally invasive approaches.

This textbook is intended primarily for general surgery residents, surgical trainees, practicing surgeons, and physicians preparing for surgical certification or recertification. Its evidence based discussions, operative illustrations, algorithms, procedural guidance, and coverage of both general surgery and relevant subspecialties make it useful for residency education, surgical case preparation, operative planning, and examination review.

General surgery residents, surgical fellows, practicing surgeons, and other surgical trainees can use this edition to review operative principles, evaluate treatment options, prepare for complex cases, and strengthen knowledge across the breadth of modern surgical practice. The 22nd edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for residency study, certification preparation, clinical reference, and advanced surgical education.
