As per this trend it seems that they publish a new edition of bailey and love every 4-5 years. So I guess there is a long wait for Bailey and Love 28th edition to get published. You could expect the 29th edition of Bailey and Love surgery to come in 2026-2027.

Past Updates in 27th Edition Bailey
The 27th edition is less bulky and excludes some unimportant things (tables, epidemiological facts etc ) and is more colourful and attractive.Language is very easy to understand. If you are a surgery aspirant, this is the best book for surgery. Not at all like other famous bigger books with small font and endless literature which is not actionable and is low yield. But surgery steps are not given for most of surgeries, so you will have to refer to some operative surgery books for surgical steps. As for those facing problems in exam preparation due to difficulty in recalling after reading Bailey, my advice would be to make your own bullet notes as you read the chapters.
