Prof. Chintamani’s Comprehensive Surgery E-book and videos is a complete, well organised collection of video lectures
providing pragmatic guidance to the principles and practice of surgery in an enjoyable and engaging way. Information is

operative considerations, post-operative complications and management, recent guidelines relating to the disease and take-
home points.

Covering the core surgical knowledge needed to crack any examination in surgery and to become a competent doctor, the e-
book is a must-have resource for advancing one’s surgical expertise and enhancing clinical acumen while it will also be an
invaluable companion during the critical run-up to final examinations.

highlighting general approach in each case with theoretical introduction followed by case scenarios and focussed “question
and answer” based clinical case discussion.

Accessible on computers, tablets, and mobile phones, the e-book makes it convenient for students and residents to continue
learning and training themselves despite being on duty. With all the “need to know” information, one can easily understand
and better retain all the aspects of surgery in less time through this e-book which continues to evolve…
