This book gives clear guidelines on the preparation and format of medicolegal reports and detailed information on the prognosis of general surgical injuries. It includes the medical and legal aspects of report preparation, and covers both general surgery and the surgical specialties: Neurosurgery, Facio-maxillary, Plastic Surgery, Eyes, Cardiothoracic, Urology, and Soft Tissue Trauma. This is a timely publication, as compensation claims for personal injury have increased in number rapidly over the last few years. The book will help surgeons to report on the patient's injuries, prognosis and expected recovery time. The copious use of references in the book means that it does the research for the surgeon, saving valuable time.
