Reviews

The editors have done a marvelous job - this is a very useful book not only for various medical specialists and surgeons, but also for medical students, residents, surgical trainees and others intending to specialize in the types of surgeries covered in this book. (Biz India, 6 February 2012) <p> The reader will enjoy the range of diagrams and tables that break up the text ... this text may be useful for emergency care practitioners, surgical care practitioners, advanced scrub practitioners and experienced scrub practitioners looking to broaden their scope of practice or simply just extend their knowledge. (Journal of Perioperative Practice, 1 January 2011) <p> It will be a useful tool in education in general surgery. The price is also affordable. For those who want to immerse themselves a bit more, Current surgical therapy (1) is recommended. (Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association, 18 November 2010)
