Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is superbly written with significant emphasis on long-term outcomes. The chapters are authored by experts who holistically provide up-to-date evidence for contemporary clinical practice.... This is an ideal text for a paediatric surgical trainee preparing for his or her exit examination. It encompasses all aspects of governance, and provides a template for accepted surgical practice and a benchmark for measurement of outcomes."
P. Jones, British Journal of Surgery

Pediatric Surgery and Urology is an impressive text providing a unique and comprehensive view of the entire spectrum of surgical and urological conditions found in neonatal and paediatric patients.... It is surprising to discover a surgical textbook which may find its way onto the shelves of anyone who is involved in managing neonates, infants or children with the long-term effects of surgical intervention. It is even more rare to find a book which should be an essential reference for those practising in such a potentially broad field, from neonatologists to paediatric/adult physicians, surgeons and urologists. This book should provide the cornerstone of practice in these fields."
Jonathan W Davis, Archives of Disease in Childhood

"If you were to ask any of the children on your ward what they thought was the most important book published this year, no doubt the majority would propose the 7th Harry Potter (due out in July). Although a reasonable suggestion, I'm afraid I'd have to disagree as the 2nd edition of Pediatric Surgery and Urology: Long-Term Outcomes should be the next addition to your departmental shelves.... Overall, this is an essential reference for pediatric surgeons and urologists and should be required reading for all trainees. It would be of interest to pediatricians and any adult surgeons undertaking general surgery of childhood. This is the only book this year that I've read practically cover-to-cover, and I don't think you can get much more of a recommendation than that."
Mark Woodward, Journal of Pediatric Urology
