Reviews
This small paperback handbook packs in a huge amount of information into it's 527 pages and the editors and most of the contributors are based in the UK, giving a very much British perspective to this superb book. The book is readable and surprisingly comprehensive for such a small but text packed handbook. * Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia *
Review from previous edition ...compiled and edited by two distinguised London Professors of Paediatric Surgery...The book is very well suited for paediatric surgical trainees all over the world... excellent as a training tool, and offers the reader rapid, concise and accurate reference for most paediatric surgical problems. * R. J. Rintala, University of Helsinki *
