‘The popularity of the previous editions of Appleton &
Lange Review of Surgery has encouraged this revised
fourth edition, The questions have been selected
from the most current pertinent topics, facets, and.
principles of the wide range of general surgery and
its specialities.
‘The main format of question presentation has
been changed to coincide with that recommended by
the USMLE guidelines, The material is presented in
the form of clinical cases with appropriate answers
to mirror the focus of the USMLE Step 2, Appleton &
Lange Review of Surgery, Fourth Edition, will also help
equip and familiarize students preparing for the Sur-
gery Miniboard Examinations. Surgical residents
have found both the questions and the annotated
answers useful in preparation for various inservice
examinations leading to the qualifying and certify-
ing exams of the American Board of Surgery and
equivalent examinations in other parts of the world
‘Surgeons in practice and those preparing for recerti-
fication in their specialty have found this book to be
useful addendum to their armamentarium of sur-
gical knowledge,
‘The types of questions have been arranged into
two major groupings: one best answer (usually out of
four to five possible answers) and the selection of one
‘or more possible answers (choose N) froma given list
‘of seven of more items. These question types are ex-
plained further in the introduction,
The questions are divided into 11 chapters not
including the practice test. The reader is encouraged
to tackle each chapter in full before referring to the
corresponding answer section, Fach question should
be completed in less than 1 minute, When correcting
a chapter, the reader should review the answer and
refer back to the question to consolidate knowledge
gained during test preparation. Incorrect answers
should be reviewed and attempted at a later date. If
you have any comments as to the contents o useful-
ness of this book, e-mail
[email protected]

Isabelle Wapnick made valuable contributions to
editing this bookIntroduction
This book has been designed to help you review
surgery for both examination and patient manage-
ment, Here in one package is a comprehensive re-
view with over 1,000 multiple-choice questions with
paragraph-length discussions of each answer. The
whole book has been designed to help you assess
your areas of relative strength and weakness.
Appleton & Lange Review of Surgery is divided
into [2 chapters, Eleven chapters provide a review of
the major areas of surgery. The last chapter, a Prac-
tice Test, integrates diverse specialities into one sim-
ulated examination.
This introduction provides information on ques
tion types, question-taking strategies, various ways
you can use this book, and specific information on the
SMLE Step 2.
QUESTIONS
The USMLE Step 2 now contains only two different
types of questions. In general, most of these are
“one-bestanswer-single-item” questions; whereas,
the remainder require selection of a stated number
of answers from a list of seven or more items
(choose N), “Multiple true-false item” and “com-
parison-matching set” questions have been ex-
ixied!, Questions that are negatively phrased! (“AI
of the following are correct EXCEPT. ..”) have bee
sposed of im accordance with current USMLE
ws. In some cases (in both types of ques-
guid
tions), a group of two or three questions may be
related 10 a situational theme. Certain questions
have illustrative material (diagrams and x-rays)
that require understanding and interpretation on
your part, Some illustrations, however, are in
cluded mainly for their instructive value in clinical
ical practice.
Questions are stratified into three levels of diff
culty: (a) role memory questions; (b) memory que
tions that require more understandingof the question;
and (¢) questions that require understanding. and
jusdgment, Because the NBME and other examination
bodies are moving away from the rote memory ques-
tions, we have tried to emphasize judgment cases
throughout this text
One-Best-Answer-Single-Item Question
This type of question presents a problem or asks a
question and is followed by five or more choices,
only one of which is entirely correct. The directions
preceding this type of question will generally appear
as follows
DIRECTIONS: (Questions 1 through 82): Each of
the numbered items or incomplete statements in
this section is followed by answers or by comple-
tions of the statements. Select the ONE lettered
answer or completion that is BEST in each case.
An example for this item type follows:
1. Anobese 21-year-old woman reports increasest
growth of coarse hair on her lip, chin, chest, and
abdomen. She also notes menstrual irregular-
ity, with periods of amenorrhea. What is the
most likely cause is?
(A) polycystic ovary disease
(B) an ovarian tumor
(C) anadrenal tumor
(DC
s disease
In this type of question, choices other than the
correct answer may be partially correct, but there canXx telrodvction
only be one best answer. In the question above the key
word is “most.” Although ovarian tumors, adrenal
tumors, and Cushing's disease are causes of
tism (described in the stem of the question), polycystie
ovary disease isa much more common cause. Famil-
ial hirsutism is not associated with the menstrual
irregularities mentioned. Thus, the most likely cause
of the manifestations described can only be “(A)
polycystic ovary disease.”

ANSWERS, EXPLANATIONS, AND REFERENCES
In each of the sections of Appleton & Lange Review of
Surgery, Fourth Edition, the question sections are fol-
lowed by a section containing the answers and ex-
planations for the questions. This section: (a) tells
you the answer to each question; and (b) gives you
an explanation and review of why the answer is cor-
rect, background information on the subject matter,
and/or why the other answers are incorrect, We en-
courage you to use this section as a basis for further
study and understanding,
If you choose the correct answer to a question,
you can then read the explanation: (a) for reinforce-
ment; and (b) to add to your knowledge about the
subject matter. If you choose the wrong answer toa question, you can read the explanation for an
instructional review of the material in the question.
PRACTICE TEST
The 98-question Practice Test at the end of the book
covers and reviews all the topics covered in Chap-
ters 1 through 11, The questions are integrated ac-
cording to question type (one-best-answer-single
item, one (or more)-best-answer-matching sets.)
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
There are two logical ways to get the most value
from this book. We call them Plan A and Plan B.
In Plan A, you go straight to the Practice Test
and complete it. Analyze your areas of strength and
weakness. This will be a good indicator of your ini-
tial knowledge of the subject and will help to iden-
tify specific areas for preparation and review. You
‘can now use the first [1 chapters of the book to help.
you improve your relative weak points,
In Plan B, you go through Chapters 1 through
11 checking off your answers, and then comparing
your choices with the answers and discussions in the
book. Once you have completed this process, you
can take the Practice Test and see how well prepared
‘you are, If you still have a major weakness, it should
be apparent in time for you to take remedial action.
In Plan A, by taking the Practice Test first, you
get quick feedback regarding your initial areas of
strength and weakness. You may find that you have
a good command of the material, indicating that per-
haps only a cursory review of the first 11 chapters is
necessary. This, of course, would be good to know
early in your examination preparation, On the other
hand, you may find that you have many areas of
weakness, In this case, you could focuson these areas
in your review-not just with this book, but also with
textbooks.
However, it is unlikely that you will not do
some studying before taking the USMLE (especially
because you have this book). Therefore, it may be
more realistic to take the Practice Test after you have
Introduction x
reviewed the first 11 chapters (as in Plan B). This will
probably give you a more realistic type of testing sit-
uation, because very few of us sit down to a test
without study. In this case, you will have done some
reviewing (from superficial to in-depth), and your
Practice Test will reflect this study time. If, after ro~
viewing the first 11 chapters and then taking the
Practice Test, you still have some weaknesses, you
can then go back through chapters | through 11 and
supplement your review with your texts.
‘SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON THE
STEP 2 EXAMINATION
The official source of all information with respect to
the USMLE is the National Board of Medical Exam-
iners (NBME), 3750 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA
19104. Established in 1915, the NBME isa voluntary,
nonprofit, independent organization whose sole
function is the design, implementation, distribution,
and processing of a vast bank of question items, cer
tifying examinations, and evaluative services in the
professional medical field.
To be eligible to sit for the USMLE Step 2, a per-
son mustbe either officially enrolled in or a graduate
ofa USor Canadian medical school accredited by the
LCME; officially enrolled in or a graduate of a US
osteopathic medical school accredited by the AOA;
or officially enrolled in or a graduate of a foreign
medical school and eligible for examination by the
ECFMG for its certificate. It is not necessary to con
plete any particular year of medical school in order
to be a candidate for Step 2; neither is it required to
take Step 1 before Step 2.
SCORING
Because there is no penalty for guessing, you should
answer every question. Do not skip any questions.
Each question answered correctly counts as one point,
and partial credit may be given to partially correct
answers.
Information on the USMLE is posted on the
NBME's web page, www.usmle.org.CHAPTER 1
