Reviews
'Many textbooks have been published in the past outlining and discussing bariatric surgery, but they have focused only on the surgery. This book is a refreshing change as it looks at anaesthesia and perioperative care ... well structured ... relevant to all perioperative practitioners, especially operating department practitioners, anaesthetic and recovery nurses. Preassessment nurses and pain management nurses would also find this book useful.' Paul Bond, Journal of Perioperative Practice
