Description
Book SynopsisWritten in a unique and innovative style, this book presents pediatric surgery in an interactive clinical context. Each chapter is built upon a specific disease or group of diseases, beginning with a typical case, presented interactively, just as it would be in encountered in clinical practice. These are actual cases that have been encountered by the author and are likely to be managed on any pediatric surgical service. The discussion that follows presents the most relevant issues pertaining to the topic, drawing on the index case, as well as multiple other cases that depict the entire spectrum of the disease or anomaly. The carefully selected suggested readings emphasize sentinel papers, high-quality reviews, and the best and most recent evidence published on the subject. A large number of illustrations help bring the clinical concepts to light. A number of high-quality videos provide a dynamic atlas of common procedures. The book is useful to the entire range of pediatr

'I’m a new Pediatric Surgery attending at Miami Childrens Hospital. In preparation for the oral pediatric surgery boards I downloaded your book and I have to say it was fantastic! The case based format made the book very enjoyable to read, great up to date material, and the operative videos showed me tricks on performing difficult cases. Furthermore when I was studying with my pediatric surgery "classmates", many of them were also using the book to study. I wanted to congratulate you on writing a fine book and let you know the book is already helping out the pediatric surgery trainee community.'
