5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book,
By
This review is from: Essential Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (Essentials of Pediatrics) (Paperback)
I am a third year resident looking towards a peds GI fellowship.This book contains much more than what is required by a peds. resident for thier GI rotation!The outline is easily accessible.I especially like the chapters on 'approach to ----protracted hypertransaminasemia",Liver transplant and Polyps in children to name a few.
Reading this book increased my fund of knowledge and consolidated my love for the field of pediatric gastroenterology. Other larger text like Wyllie and Walker( two diff books) contain much more information.But if you need a book that is succinct, a quick/free flowing read and that delivers more than is needed for your peds GI rotation, then Dr Guandalini's book is preffered.

great, easy, read,
This review is from: Essential Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (Essentials of Pediatrics) (Paperback)
I am a senior medical student interested in Peds GI and got this book prior to my GI rotation. It is organized very well and provides great tables to organize and summarize the material in the chapters. It explains topics in easy-to-read manner with more than enough detail to understand Sx, mechanisms, etiologies, differentials, workups, and Tx without being burdensome or overwhelming.
In short, this book makes peds GI make sense.
