Fundamentals of Pediatric Surgery

Meer over het boek

The previous edition of this book was built on a fundamental philosophy: to offer a practical and current resource for surgeons focused on the unique aspects of pediatric surgical care. The second edition maintains this philosophy while introducing significant enhancements. It provides the latest clinical information in a straightforward narrative, with each chapter justifying its approach based on scientific literature and the author’s clinical experience. Additionally, it features detailed algorithms or clinical protocols in graphic format, discussions on unanswered questions and future study proposals, and lists of suggested readings. The chapters comprehensively address a wide range of pediatric general surgery topics, including disorders of major organ systems, congenital anomalies in newborns, and issues relevant to fetal surgery. The authors present authoritative discussions on therapeutic methods and surgical techniques, covering traditional open surgeries, modern minimally invasive procedures, and emerging technologies like single-site and robotic surgery. Written by experts, this edition serves as a definitive source of clinical information for residents, fellows, and attending surgeons, aiding them in the real-time care of pediatric patients.
