The original publication is not stated, but suffice to say that this four-volume, 12th-edition reference merits the term "enduring." It has evolved with this edition by virtue of the complete redrawing of thousands of illustrations as well as reorganization, updating, and the addition of several chapters. Eighty-nine chapters are arranged in 19 anatomically-themed sections. Included with purchase is online access to a site that contains the text, surgical videos (an increased number), and references published before 2000. Editors Canale and Beaty have shepherded the work of some 40 contributors, all of whom are colleagues at the U. of Tennessee--Campbell Clinic.
