Fundamentals of Pediatric Surgery – Springer; 1st Edition (February 2011)

From the reviews: “The book will prove valuable to students, residents in general surgery, fellows in pediatric surgery, and practicing pediatric surgeons who are faced with a problem seldom encountered or last encountered many years ago in training or practice. … Overall, this is another good contribution that joins the three to four other large textbooks currently available in the English language that review the broad field of pediatric surgery. … this is a well-done textbook that will serve the field well for the next few years.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2011) “‘We also offer a comprehensive, practical guide for surgical residents as they serve their rotation in pediatric surgery, and for surgical residents who choose a fellowship in pediatric surgery. Each chapter presents up-to date, pertinent information … on day-to-day care of children needing surgical care’. … provides a concise overview of its topic, accompanied with photos and diagrams, highlighted tables of summary points, technical points, a list of studies and a ‘parental preparation’ summary of information to present to the patient’s family members.” (Ashley Moore, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, August, 2011)
