Digestive System Surgery
Preparation for the Israeli licensing exam - oesophagus to spleen.
247 pages in 15 chapters, built on Sabiston Textbook of Surgery, 21st edition, pages 1013–1583. Each chapter is made of units, and each unit carries a clinical account in Hebrew with the English or Latin term beside it, the classifications and scores in framed boxes, a step-by-step clinical algorithm, a pitfalls-and-red-flags box, and exam-style questions with an explanation for every distractor.
Four consecutive pages from the acute abdomen chapter, exactly as they appear in the book.
Classifications as an examiner quotes them
More than thirty classifications and scoring systems in framed boxes - Alvarado, Forrest, Hinchey, Child-Pugh, Atlanta, Chicago, TNM, Parks, Strasberg, Todani and more - all transcribed from the source tables rather than recalled.
144 questions, every option explained
Three to five exam-style questions close every unit. Each explains not only why the key is right but why each of the other options is wrong - which is where most of the learning is.
Pitfalls and red flags
A dedicated box closes every unit: the traps the exam repeats, the common clinical errors, and the situations that need theatre now rather than another test.

A 247-page book in 15 chapters: oesophagus, abdominal wall and peritoneum, hernias, acute abdomen, GI haemorrhage, bariatric surgery, stomach and duodenum, small bowel, appendix, colon and rectum, anus, liver, biliary tract, pancreas and spleen. It closes with a "who goes to theatre now" card and a 316-term Hebrew–English glossary.
What is it based on?
Sabiston Textbook of Surgery, 21st edition, pages 1013–1583 - the oesophagus and abdomen sections, chapters 42 to 57. Every chapter names the source chapter and pages on its title page, so you can go back to the original at any point.
Who is it for?
Medical students in their clinical years, interns, residents in surgery and internal medicine, and anyone sitting the Israeli licensing exam. It is written in Hebrew, with the English or Latin term beside every Hebrew one - the way the words are actually used on an Israeli ward.

This book is study and exam-preparation material. It is not an operative protocol, not institutional policy, and not a substitute for clinical judgement. Surgical guidance is revised often and some classifications have been updated since the source edition - verify against the current edition and your institution’s protocols before clinical use.
