Reviews

This is an excellent review of problems in children which are either endocrine in origin, or which have significant endocrine implications. ... The intended audience is primarily pediatric surgeons caring for these patients, but the book will be a valuable asset for adult endocrine surgeons who may help care for pediatric patients as well as for endocrinologists. It also will be a valuable resource for trainees in surgery, pediatrics, and endocrinology who will help in the care of these patients. (Vincent R. Adolph, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2017)
