Revised and updated by one of America's most distinguished gastrointestinal surgeons, this classic textbook presents the basic and unchanging principles of prompt, accurate diagnosis while incorporating many new observations drawn from the author's extensive experience. Cope's emphasis on clinical diagnosis by direct examination, his highly readable writing style, and the book's overall structure are all retained. The new edition contains a chapter on the use of laboratory and radiologic tests as well as many new illustrations.

Cope's Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen

<p>For the 20th edition of this classic text, Silen has expanded his discussion of the role of CT scans in diagnosing abdominal pain and cut the material on such obsolete procedures or nosologic entities as abdominal paracentesis, pyplyositis, and Bornholm's disease. The book continues to be the outstanding guide to the difficult task of diagnosing and deciding how to manage acute abdominal pain, where decisions must be made quickly and mistakes can kill patients. More generally, it remains the most venerable of all texts on the art and science of bedside diagnosis.</p>
