Review

From the reviews:

"This book … represents recurrent, difficult work that would be undertaken in almost all cases by senior pediatric surgeons. There will be some interest on the part of trainees. … This is an interesting compilation of strategies and techniques to solve long-term problems in children who have undergone early surgery, mostly for congenital anomalies. Experienced pediatric surgeons will find this valuable in confirming many of their thoughts and procedures for achieving the same purpose … ." (Robert M Arensman, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2008)

Product Description

Reoperative surgery is a prevailing challenge faced by pediatric surgeons. Reoperative Pediatric Surgery constitutes in one volume the most up to date information and techniques for critical cases in all of the pediatric surgical specialties including oncology, gastroenterology, gynecology, urology, radiology, and cardiology. Recognized experts impart their knowledge of indications for reoperative surgeries, radiologic evaluation, surgical procedures which may require seldom used and extremely complex techniques, and the risks and outcomes of these specialized approaches. These practicing surgeons provide insight into intricate corrective procedures involving the placement of grafts, stents, and supports with necessary forecasting for complications arising from anatomic growth and disease recurrence.

This comprehensive book is an indispensable resource covering the full spectrum of pediatric reoperation addressing the complications of common pediatric surgeries including congenital defect repair, chest wall repair, orchiopexy, hernia repair, fundoplication, and placement of vertriculoperitoneal shunts as well as unique cases of tumor excision and reoperative oncology. With its detailed masterful approach and full color photographs, Reoperative Pediatric Surgery is the gold-standard for this multi-faceted discipline.
