"50 Studies Every Surgeon Should Know is a well-written, easy-to-read, concise synopsis of arguably the 50 most important studies in general surgery and most surgical sub-specialties. This ambitious book is ideal for surgical residents who desire to read up on fundamental research that shaped clinical practice patterns, as well as medical students who will find themselves better prepared on teaching rounds after reading this book. Most importantly, the book will serve to inspire trainees to become interested surgical research and evidence-based clinical practice. For practicing surgeons, 50 Studies Every Surgeon Should Know can serve as a useful reference for maintenance of certification (MOC) preparation and to review fundamental studies inside and outside of their field of practice. It will serve as an invaluable addition to any trainee's and surgeon's library." - Adeyemi A. Ogunleye, MD, SM, PGY-7 plastic surgery resident, Medical University of South Carolina, SC.
