About this book
Reviews
“This first edition of the textbook, which provides a complete view of all aspects related to safe surgical care … . This is very pleasant reading, bringing useful aspects in debate and we recommend this book to every surgeon interested in improving his vision about what happens outside the operating room.” (Marius M. Scarlat, International Orthopaedics (SICOT), Vol. 39 (5), May, 2015)
“The 34 chapters, organized into four sections, and several appendixes present information in a concise but complete format. … This is a unique and much-needed book. It will serve as a resource for surgeons, anesthesiologists, operating room nurses, and others involved in perioperative care. It deserves to become a classic in this developing field.” (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2014)
“This work is actually to regard as a worldwide reference in this field. It will have to appear in good place in the libraries of all the centers of traumatology, but to also be on the desk of all the trainees surgeons, but also seniors, who want to practice a rigorous surgery and with competence near the patients that misfortunes of the life directed towards them.” (Pierre Kehr, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, Vol. 24, 2014)
