From the reviews:

“This comprehensive, yet concise, review of endocrine surgery is presented in an easy-to-read bullet-point format, supplemented by tables and illustrations. … The book will be useful to both practicing surgeons and trainees involved in the management of patients with endocrine surgical diseases. The format will be particularly appealing to senior residents and fellows in surgery, otolaryngology, and neurosurgery looking for up-to-date information on diseases and techniques in preparation for cases during their rotations. … a useful addition to the field of endocrine surgery.” (Geeta Lal, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2014)
