Now in its Second Edition, The ABSITE Review is one of the most popular study guides for the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE), which residents in general surgery must take each year and residents going into surgical subspecialties must take during the year of their general surgery training. This easy-to-use book presents concise, digestible chunks of information in lists and outlines that facilitate quick memorization. Every component of the exam is covered--basic science and clinical knowledge in all areas tested. This edition incorporates common decision-making algorithms and covers the material that has appeared in the most recent exams.

the only review for the ABSITE:
I had the previous version, and bought this one when mine disappeared from a call room. Even better than the first edition. There really isn't anything else available that compares. If you know this material, a good to excellent score should follow.
Steer clear of this mess!:
Tiny print, hard to read, incomplete, doesn't cover all major surgery topics, and is woefully inadequate for the ABSITE or the board exams.
a great review:
This and Rush make a good review before the Absite for the lower levels. It might be too simple for the advanced levels, but at least intern and R2 would benefit from this book. Was a very good review, just lacked a little detail on some things. (but had some very good high-yield points!)
Better than the first edition:
This second edition of the absite review book is even easier to read, with more pertinent diagrams, algorithms and important info for the test. Highly recommended as a principle sourse of review for your absite.
