I am a full time faculty surgeon for a surgical residency program. We purchased this book for our residents based upon its previous excellent performance and very recent publication. I have been reading various surgical texts for year including Sabiston and this edition is a disappointment.
There are the usual mispellings and grammatical errors which seem to be more frequent than one might expect. In addition however, in more than one chapter are sentences which just don't make sense. An example: Page 122 Sabiston 19th ed "As a source of calories, 1 g of carbohydrate yields 3.4 kcal (16kJ) of protein, and 4 kcal (17kJ) yields 9kcal(37kJ) of fat." Or this example: Reference to a table on page 1711 (table 63-6), which although present in another chapter, has no bearing on the subject at hand.
Surgical texbooks such as Sabiston form the underpinning of resident surgical education. Residents exposed to this material for the first time should not have to wonder what a sentence truly means or where a table or figure might be. The content is good and the illustrations are very good, but for nearly $200, I would have expected a better job of editing, especially for a text with the previously excellent reputation of Sabiston.

I am the owner of a 17th edition...excellent book in its time when i was a medical student rotating in surgery. The 18th came out....but i had the computerized version so i upgraded naturally. I eventually decided I was fed up reading it on a screen so i pre-ordered this 19th edition since nov/dec 2011 hoping it would be better than the 18th. Eager to open the box like a child on christmas day, I started reading it. As a surgical resident, this book is not a step down but a probably ten floors down from what it should be.
Comparing the 17th and 18th to this 19th edition: alot of vital and critical information has been omitted. In fact if you read this you are likely to not to benefit much in terms of new knowledge. If this is your first sabiston then you may be like wow buy if you know what the potential of this book was previously....you may probably fling the 19th edition out the window.
In my opinion this is a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT for me and a waste of USD $160.49. I can even sell it cause its underpar and no other surgical resident will want it. I regret not buying the 18th edition instead.
If you are a medical student and want a brief overview....good book for you.
If you want to be a surgeon, poor book, they have skipped over alot of pathophysiology, surgical anatomy, anomalies, etc....its a long list. This book is just a disaster.
anyway the choice is yours and you were informed.
