About this book
Although pediatric surgery is a distinct and evolving specialty, it still remains an integral part of most general surgical and paediatric medical practice. Nevertheless, surgery in children does differ from adult practice in various fundamental ways, and there are key physiological and anatomical differences that constantly need underlining. Progress and improvement in outcome has also been rapid but it is sometimes difficult for practitioners to keep themselves up-to-date with the usual surgical or paediatric text books.
This book will give a concise overview of all important topics and is designed to provide information in order to recognise the common surgical conditions; namely typical symptoms and signs, investigation and then treatment management. It will also provide an anatomical and physiological background to aid understanding, in addition to emphasising logical, and where possible, evidence-based practice by the use of flow charts, tables and algorithms.
Authored by an international range of leading contributors, this is the first book of its kind to offer comprehensive coverage to this topic in a quick reference, pocket-book format.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“‘It’s very well-written and comprehensive covering all the major paediatric surgical topics. This is a very good book. It would be of interest to paediatric surgical trainees, particularly in their early years of training. … It contains a lot of information and I think it would be useful for exam revision.’” (BMA Medical Book Awards, September, 2011)
“A useful treatise for trainees in pediatric surgery … . Well and clearly written, ample use of color. Each chapter has a selected reading list.” (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 8 (3), March, 2011)
"Well written and nicely illustrated, this is a short, concise compendium of pediatric surgery as it is currently practiced for the common problems of childhood surgical problems."
