The definitive illustrated resource on the surgical management of
infants and children -- with an emphasis on operative technique
A Doody's Core Title for 2017!
Operative Pediatric Surgery, Second Edition is a comprehensive,
well-illustrated text that delivers expert coverage of the
pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric surgical disease.
This detailed single-volume resource is enhanced by numerous drawings,
radiographs, and photographs that illustrate the authors' preferred
operative techniques. Wherever appropriate, diagnostic and care
guidelines are also included.
Operative Pediatric Surgery, Second Edition is divided into 11
sections that include a total of 100 chapters. The book opens with an
informative General Principles section that provides important
background information on topics such as the history of pediatric
surgery, ethical considerations, pediatric surgical critical care, and
office-based ambulatory surgery. The rest of the text is organized
primarily by organ, enhanced by a timely section on solid organ
transplantation.
In this Second Edition, each chapter author has thoroughly updated and
refreshed their topic, and in many instances, minimally invasive
operative techniques are included with open approaches. There are also
exciting new chapters on:
- Hypospadias
- Vesicoureteral reflux
- Non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas
- Gastrointestinal polyps and cancer
- Adolescent bariatric surgery
Operative Pediatric Surgery will prove to be an essential reference
for pediatric surgeons seeking optimal diagnosis and treatment
approaches for their patients.
