Review
material is well written, detailed, and appropriate for both the
resident and experienced practitioner. The illustrations are good, and
the text is well referenced... I refer to this edition regularly and
find it answers most of my questions. The question of a single text
reviewing the entire specialty remains relevant; these volumes do an
outstanding job at this Protean task." - JAMA, review of the last
edition

Lange Q&A: Surgery (Lange’s Q & A: Surgery)

Publisher: McGraw-Hill Medical
Number Of Pages: 416
Publication Date: 2007-05-21
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0071475664
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780071475662
Binding: Paperback
With 1000 USMLE-format surgery questions and answers, each with thorough explanations, and a bonus practice test, this resource provides an unmatched review of surgery. Students will find everything they need to ace the USMLE Step 2 and the surgery shelf exam.
Summary: Look elsewhere
Rating: 1
lots of errors/poor editing in this "thoroughly updated and reviewed" 5th edition. even worse are the poor (and very brief) explanations that don’t make sense and don’t even address the questions. the cover touts "rationales for correct and incorrect answers", but this simply isn’t true. just flip to the answers and you’ll see that each explanation is incredibly short compared to other books and most of the answer choices are not mentioned.
i had a hard time figuring out which question resource to use during my surgery clerkship. both this book and pretest got mediocre/poor reviews, and there aren’t any other dedicated surgery question books out there that i know of. i ended up using the 100 surgery q’s from the kaplan qbook for step 2ck and the 200 surgery q’s from blueprints q a for step 2. so far, i think the blueprints questions are the most educational.
Summary: Excellent question book
Rating: 5
I only used this and Lange Case files for my surgery shelf and got an advanced. I’m a crummy multiple choice test taker so I figure if I could use this book and get that score, most anyone could.
I still have to say that the best way to do well on the surgery shelf is to know your Internal medicine (i.e. do Lange Q&A for medicine). I even had a question on the surgery shelf that was exactly the same as one on my medicine shelf. But if you want a text that helps you understand surgery and questions you’ll probably be pimped on this is the book.
