About this book
Reviews
“This is a comprehensive review of the advances in metabolic surgery over the past century, with a particular focus on minimally invasive procedures. … The intended audience is primarily bariatric surgeons, with a secondary audience of all healthcare workers. However, this book will likely be used only by bariatric surgeons or others working in bariatric centers.” (Luke Kinsinger, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2015)
