Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is a compact paperback on surgery of the small bowel derived from a large two-volume comprehensive text on general surgery. … Written for trainees and practitioners, the book is likely to be most helpful to residents during their rotations on GI surgery and surgical oncology. … This is a compact, reasonably priced book with a wealth of detail about current management of a variety of disorders affecting the small intestine (and appendix).” (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2012)
