I’m a huge fan of the Stedman’s books, as they collect a tremendous quantity of language below each of several specialized areas for their various books. A medical transcriptionist must have such books, and I have found in three-plus years that the Stedman’s approach is vastly superior to having a single volume with all terms lumped together.
But, with the Surgery book I find that the terms I need to look up are ordinarily found below the other specialty headings. For instance, Nissen fundoplication is a GI course of action that is found in the GI/GU book; I don’t need to look in the Surgery book to find that. There have been some examples when I need to hunt down a word specific to surgery in general, and I cannot find it in a different book; but, that is unusual.
Still, there’s no denying the superiority of the Stedman’s approach to medical word books, and no denying that this is another exhaustive collection of words and phrases necessary to medical transcription and correlated fields of medical authorship etc.

As a honestly new transcriptionist working on a mainly surgical account, I need all the help I can get from my references, and I have found this book to be extremely frustrating. In the month that I have owned it, I have found TWO (yes, TWO) terms that I was looking for. The rest I have found by using other resources. Save your money.

In reading the other two reviews of this book, I am dismayed. I am also to some extent surprised given the usefulness of other Steadman’s publications. This particular book has so few surgical words that I look up that I no longer even bother. It is more frustrating and a waste of time than helpful. I despise to say this, but it is my experience.

An essential reference book for the transcriptionist, proofer, auditor or anyone who reviews dictated surgical reports on a fixed basis. As with all of Stedman’s books, this speciality specific volume contains the right spelling of surgical words listed in alphabetical order. In the back of the book, it contains wonderful pictures of anatomic positions, patient positions, types of anesthesia and Dermatones. There is a pain glossary, example op reports and a listing of drugs by suggestion. A must-have reference!
