Clinical Pediatric Surgery
Written in a unique and innovative style, this book presents paediatric surgery in an interactive clinical context. Each chapter is built upon a specific disease or group of diseases, beginning with a typical case, presented interactively, just as it would be encountered in clinical practice.
These are actual cases that have been encountered by the author and are likely to be managed on any paediatric surgical service. The discussion that follows presents the most relevant issues pertaining to the topic, drawing on the index case, as well as multiple other cases that depict the entire spectrum of the disease or anomaly. The carefully selected suggested readings emphasise sentinel papers, high-quality reviews, and the best and most recent evidence published on the subject.
A large number of illustrations help bring the clinical concepts to light. A number of high-quality videos provide a dynamic atlas of common procedures. The book is useful to the entire range of paediatric surgical trainees and practitioners, from the medical student or resident rotating on paediatric surgery, to the fellow preparing for certification, to the seasoned surgeon looking for an update on a particular subject or preparing for recertification.
A large number of other physicians will find this book very useful, including general surgeons who evaluate and treat childhood surgical diseases, paediatricians and paediatric hospitalists who co-manage patients with surgeons, and obstetricians, pathologists, and radiologists who work closely with paediatric surgeons.
Key Features
