Advanced Surgical Recall provides a quick, efficient review of commonly tested information found on the ABSITE and Oral Board exams. Helpful images and drawings show important anatomical landmarks and appropriate surgical techniques. A new section, Power Review Microvignettes, provides quick sample cases to test recall in a new way.

The book is designed to foster the acquisition of surgical information; it is not for gaining experience in test taking.
