Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2011
As an ER resident, I found this book to be exceptionally useful. It describes in detail every aspect of wound and laceration repair, including more complicated techniques and special areas of the body. It includes many illustrations, although many are not in full color. I would strongly suggest this book for anyone wishing to impress with their skills and knowledge regarding such an important topic.

I work in urgent care and this book has been a great resource for wound and laceration management. I highly recommend this book to be on the shelf of anyone who works in urgent or emergency care or who takes care of lacerations and wounds in their office on an emergent basis.

Great resource
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2011
great introduction to laceration repair. definitely goes beyond how to tie knots and basic suture types. as a med student we were taught kind of the basics of suturing but this book takes it to the next level. definitely helped provide me the knowledge to repair some of the irregular shaped complex lacs.
