Kirurgija je grana medicine koja se bavi bolestima i sta-njima koja zahtijevaju ili se mogu liječiti operacijskim ili manualnim procedurama. Iako je na tržištu bilo dosad prisutno nekoliko udžbenika iz područja Kirurgije, oni su bili prvenstveno namijenjeni medicinarima i pisani od strane akademskih nastavnika s pozicije teoretičara. Knjiga Kirurgija autora prof. dr. sc. Danko Velimira Vrdo-ljaka, prof. dr. sc. Krešimira Rotima i prof. dr. sc. bojana biočine novost je u tom području, a time i još vrjednija, budući da sustavno i cjelovito daje uvid u aktualnu kirur-šku kliničku praksu upravo od strane akademskih au-tora koji su istovremeno i vrhunski svjetski kliničari koji svoje umijeće svakod-nevno provode u kirurškim salama. Urednici i autori na izradi knjige dodatno su okupili tim od 39 suradnika što knjizi daje posebnu vri-jednost, sveobuhvatnost i interdisciplinarnost. Vrijed-nost i jedinstvenost knjige potvrdili su i ugledni recen-zenti prof.dr. Darko Ledić, prof. dr. Darko Mijatović i prof. dr. sc. Mario Zovak. Knjiga je sadržajno podi-jeljena u 34 poglavlja. U prvih 13 poglavlja čitatelja se upoznaje sa specifično-stima i principima kirurške djelatnosti. Uključuju uvod, pravna i etička pitanja u ki-rurgiji, nesreće i hitna sta-nja, pretrage kod kirurških bolesnika, operaciju, anestezi-ju te perioperacijski i poslijeoperacijski period, cijeljenje rane, kirurške infekcije i procedure, skrb o kritičnom bo-lesniku te principe kirurške onkologije i transplantacije. U daljim poglavljima – od 14. do 34. – daje se pregled kirurških djelatnosti po regijama, redom kirurgija glave i vrata, torakalna kirurgija, kardijalna kirurgija, kirurgija jednjaka, želuca i duodenuma, jetre i bilijarnog sustava, slezene te pankreasa, akutni abdomen, tanko crijevo i op-strukcije, debelo crijevo i apendiks, anus, bolesti dojke, hernije, vaskularna kirurgi-ja, endokrina kirurgija, uro-logija, traumatologija i or-topedija, dječja i plastična kirurgija te neurokirurgija.Pregled kirurških djelatno-sti po regijama od 14. do 34. poglavlja ujednačen je te na sustavan način daje kratki uvod u anatomiju i fiziologiju regije te pregled najčešćih kirurških pato-loških entiteta koji se u tim regijama javljaju, kao i suvremene načine njihova liječenja.U prilogu se nalazi popis kratica i ključnih pojmova koji će im također omogući-ti lakše pretraživanje knjige.

Knjiga Kirurgija predstavlja važan doprinos znanstvenoj i stručnoj medicinskoj literaturi Republike Hrvatske kao cjelovit i sustavan udžbenik iz kirurgije za sve stručne i sveučilišne studije iz područja biomedicine i zdravstva uključujući medicinare, ali i sve druge zdravstvene pro-fesije i uvjeren sam da će naći svoje mjesto ne samo u visokoškolskim bibliotekama, već i u svakodnevnoj oporabi kao dragocjena literatura svih onih kojima je i namijenjena – studentima i stručnjacima svih zdrav-stvenih profesija.Doc. dr. sc.

The terms used in the book are in accordance with Croatian and internationally used medical terminology.The book is illustrated with original illustrations that are clearly visible, understandable and didactic.The authors have provided a list of relevant Croatian and global sources that were used in the creation of the book which can be used by students as an additional reference.Although it was written at the highest professional lev-el, the book is well-rounded and, thanks to its organi-zation and the choice of content, it meets numerous academic and professional needs of experts who have lacked such a textbook for years. This does not refer only to students of the undergraduate course Surgery at the University of Applied Health Sciences in Zagreb, but also to all other students and residents in biomedi-cal fields who take surgical classes at different levels of their academic and specialist education, and who can use this book as a quality, comprehensive textbook or for refreshing their knowledge.The book Surgery represents a significant contribution to the scientific and professional medical literature of the Republic of Croatia as a comprehensive and sys-tematic surgery textbook for all professional and uni-versity studies in the field of biomedicine and health care, including health professionals and all other health professions. I am confident that it will find its place not only in higher education libraries, but also in daily use as a precious book for all those it is intended for - stu-dents and experts of all health professions.Assistant Professor Boris Božić, PhDSurgery is a branch of medicine that deals with dis-eases and conditions which require or may be treated with operative or manual procedures. Although there are several books on surgery available on the market, they are primarily intended for health professionals and written by academics from a theoretical perspective. The book Surgery by prof.DankoVelimirVrdoljak, PHD prof. KrešimirRotim, PHD and prof. BojanBiočina, PHD is something new in the field, which makes it even more valuable. It provides a systematic and comprehensive insight into current surgical clinical practices since it was written by academics who are also world-renowned clinicians who work in operating rooms every day. The editors and authors gathered a team of 39 associates to work together on the book which contributed to its value, comprehensiveness and interdisciplinarity. The value and uniqueness of the book have been confirmed by renowned reviewers prof. Darko Ledić, PHD prof. Darko Mijatović, PHD and prof. Mario Zovak, PHD.The book is divided into 34 chapters.
