Reviews

The purpose is to provide guidance from the giants in the field of antireflux surgery on the management of complex foregut cases. ... It should be required reading for minimally invasive fellows because they will rarely come across the shortened esophagus or difficult to close hiatus early in their career. ... Having this book in their library and being familiar with its content gives surgeons a leg up in those difficult cases so that patients can experience a good outcome. (Peter Nau, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2016)
