Reviews

The book targets both trainees as well as surgeons in practice. ... Overall, this is a good book. It does not claim to be a comprehensive authority on any one subject. On the contrary, the success of the book is largely attributable to the fact that it remains true to its purpose of being a 'how to' book. (Gautam Malhotra, Doody's Book Reviews, September 4, 2020)
