How current is ACS Surgery?
A. ACS Surgery, in its various formats, is the most current reference of surgery on the market. ACS Surgery has always been different from standard textbooks. It is current and timely, with replacement chapters appearing with a frequency similar to that of journal articles. This aspect is especially evident in the Web version, where we publish first so that readers can get information most rapidly. (Some publishers of professional references publish their print version first and only publish on the Web later.) Such frequent updating has made it possible for our authors and editors to respond readily to queries from readers and to present new developments pertinent to the practice of surgery. We also publish quarterly and annual CD-ROMs. In print, we publish a new bound edition each year-a frequency that surpasses that of any other comparable surgical textbooks.
