Cet ouvrage aborde la sémiologie depuis l'oesophage jusqu'à l'anus, puis les affections hépatiques et pancréatiques, enfin les grandes urgences chirurgicales. Ce découpage est classique, mais n'est fait de cette facon, par un médecin et un chirurgien digestifs, dans aucun ouvrage de sémiologie, bien que toute douleur abdominale puisse être due à une affection relevant de la chirurgie. Chaque chapitre aborde les symptômes, les signes physiques, les orientations diagnostiques et la demande justifiée d'examens complémentaires. Ce qui est original est que les chapitres sont intitulés en fonction des symptômes et sont construits sous cet éclairage : par exemple la proctologie traite des "Douleurs anales", le chapitre "Douleurs biliaires" couvre les signes de la colique hépatique jusqu'aux abcès sous phréniques.
