"Many of us who trained over the last 40 years have used Mastery of Surgery (MOS) as the primary textbook prior to entering the operating room (OR) in order to best prepare ourselves to perform a surgical procedure. First edited by Nyhus and Baker, and then masterfully continued by Dr. Fischer, we as editors of this new edition understood the significant role this textbook has played in helping to train generations of surgeons. We as an editorial board, along with a stated commitment from the editorial team at Wolters Kluwer, wanted to reimagine and improve MOS to ensure that it would remain the primary resource that many future generations of surgeons use prior to going to the operating room or in preparing for board examinations. We fully embraced thisresponsibility to not only carry on what previous editors had generated with its classic presentation and content, but we also committed our team to modernizing and improving this edition"--
