This first text in a brand new series provides a source for current information regarding the diagnostic approach and treatment of surgical disorders in neonates, children, and adolescents. Designed as a complementary tool to standard comprehensive texts, each chapter is written by an accomplished clinician and provides recommendations for treatment based on clinical expertise and personal approach. Ideal for board review, its concise and direct style includes suggested readings; some areas contain editorial notes and where appropriate invited discussion of controversial topics. Disorders are organized into categories according to sections such as the GI tract, thoracic, trauma, surgical oncology, soft tissue, transplantation, critical care, preoperative care, and more.
