SR Print(0) ID 1117728901 T1 Preface to the First Edition T2 Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, 10e YR 2015 FD 2015 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9780071796743 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1117728901 RD 2024/03/28 AB The raison d'ĂȘtre for a new textbook in a discipline which has been served by standard works for many years was the Editorial Board's initial conviction that a distinct need for a modern approach in the dissemination of surgical knowledge existed. As incoming chapters were reviewed, both the need and satisfaction became increasingly apparent and, at the completion, we felt a sense of excitement at having the opportunity to contribute to the education of modern and future students concerned with the care of surgical patients.
