Reviews

This case-based book discusses a variety of clinical situations that general surgeons may encounter, and reviews a diverse variety of pathologies encountered in the abdomem. The chapters are all well done and do an excellent job of approaching each case with a succinct yet comprehensive review of the subject matter. Each chapter is clearly written and concise in its message. The pictures and diagrams are very well reproduced and clearly add to the overall message. This book is clearly written for senior surgical residents or practicing general surgeons. The topics that are discussed are well reviewed, providing the readers with expert opinion as well as pertinent, up-to-date literature. For a newly minted general surgeon or senior resident, this will be a good resource. Peter Nau, MD, MS, FACS(University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics)
