Sample topics discussed in Ellis and Calne's Lecture Notes in General Surgery include:
* Surgical strategy, human factors in surgery, fluid and nutrition management, preoperative assessment, postoperative complications, acute infections, tumours, and shock
* Trauma surgery, burns, the skin and its adnexae, arterial disease, the heart and thoracic aorta, and the chest and lungs
* The brain and meninges, head injury, the spine, peripheral nerve injuries, the oral cavity and the salivary glands
