Since 1990, sur- gery has witnessed cataclysmic changes. In our Trust, the fi rst laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 1992, and has now become the pro- cedure of choice for most gall bladder disease and many other surgical operations in the western world. With the expansion of laparoscopic surgery, we have encountered a whole new range of complications with an escalation in the demise of general surgery as the result of hyperspe- cialization. There are many surgical trainees who have scant experience of open surgery and who have, due to European directives, limited time exposure to surgical procedures. In fact, most technical training is now obtained from emergency on call such that a new speciality of emergency surgery is developing. A recent British Medical Journal (BMJ) article recom- mended a training programme for surgeons wishing to work in remote and rural surgery—not only in the Developing World, but in remote and isolated communities in the United Kingdom! General surgery may largely have gone, but it should not be forgotten. Most countries in the world do not have access to these recent innovations and there is still a case in the developed world for experience in open and general surgery to be incor- porated in the formal training programmes of junior surgeons. G. R. McLatchie Hartlepool, September 2012 vi Preface to the third edition This, the third edition of the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Surgery, refl ects the changes which have occurred in general surgery over the 17 years since the fi rst edition was published. Firstly, we have recruited the services of two new editors, a stark con- trast to the original, which was written by a single author with the assis- tance of a surgical registrar. Secondly, each chapter has been written by a specialist consultant or registrar in the subject and, therefore, presents a modern, state-of-the-art treatise on each topic. Again, each condition is covered in the original two-page format with blank pages for accompanying notes. I am particularly grateful for the commitment that Jo Chikwe and Neil Borley have made, and also wish to thank staff at Oxford University Press for their support and patience. I am also grateful for the contribution and support given by many colleagues. G. R. McLatchie Hartlepool, March 2007 vii Preface to the fi rst edition The idea of this book was fi rst suggested by Mr Gordon McBain, consult- ant surgeon at the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow. We have received considerable support from the staff of Oxford University Press, and are also indebted to Mr J. Rhind and Dr J. Daniel for their contributions and our surgical teachers, especially Mr J. S. F. Hutchison, Mr M. K. Browne, Mr J. Neilson, Mr D. Young, Mr A. Young, and the late Mr I. McLennan whose practical advice and anecdotes pepper the pages…. G. R. McLatchie S.
