The new, fully updated edition of this book gives a concise overview of all important topics and is designed to provide information to recognise and treat common pediatric surgical conditions: namely, symptoms and signs, investigation, and management. A logical, evidence-based practice is encouraged by the use of flow charts, tables, and algorithms. This edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the rapid progress in the world of pediatric surgery including the subspecialties of general pediatric surgery, urology, hepatobiliary surgery, organ transplantation, minimally invasive surgery (including robotic surgery), and bariatric surgery. This book also provides an anatomical and physiological background to aid understanding.Having been authored by international leaders in these fields, this book offers comprehensive coverage of various surgical conditions in children with a quick-reference format. The first edition has been immensely popular with over 160,000 downloads including GPs, A&E doctors, adult surgeons who need to treat children, pediatricians, and of course, pediatric surgeons.
