Reviews
“The purpose is to present a series of reviews intended to survey the available evidence on problems encountered in this growing discipline. Trainees and students with an interest in acute care surgery as well as senior providers needing a rapid, readable update are an appropriate audience for this book … . This book is most effective in describing operative and nonoperative management of surgical emergencies. … Surgeons facing abdominal emergencies are best served by this book.” (David Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2017)
