Surgery of the Liver, Bile-Ducts and Pancreas in Children
The first edition of this book was a landmark publication and did much to establish paediatric hepatobiliary surgery as a discrete subspecialty. This edition is an expanded and fully updated version. Two new editors have added complementary expertise and international authority. More operative detail has been included for the non-specialist and there are new sections on the surgical management of pancreatic disease, transplantation and trauma written by international experts. High quality operative line illustrations and a section of colour plates have also been added to aid understanding.
Key Features:
* New editors for added international authority
* Completely updated and new sections added
* New high-quality illustrations and colour plate section
* Now includes pancreatic disease and the US experience of transplant and trauma
Readership:
Paediatric surgeons, hepatobiliary surgeons, and transplant surgeons.
