This is a collection of photographs compiled by the author during his years of working as a surgeon and lecturer at Katurba Medical College. They show the extreme conditions of disease with which the patient presents before surgery. Each photo is described, the cause of the disease is explained, and the surgical treatment is suggested. There are 250 photos in full colour spread across 14 chapters, dealing with head and neck diseases, through all body systems, as well as more specialised unique conditions. This book will be useful to all surgical trainees and practising surgeons.
