Principles and Practice of Pediatric Surgery

Journal of the American Medical Association, Volume 294, Issue 2 -- "The new text substantially strengthens the first edition with regard to its utility as a daily reference for those involved in the care of surgical problems in infants and children while still emphasizing the scientific principles and practice of pediatric surgery. The editors are joined by 176 contributors who represent the present and future leaders in pediatric surgery. The editors have maintained the balance and consistency in style and language of the first edition so that the transition from chapter to chapter is seamless. Principles and Practice of Pediatric Surgery maintains the high standard of the first edition and is now a proven text for pediatric surgeons, trainees, and others who need to be well informed. The editors are commended for creating a "unique reference text" that accurately reflects "contemporary pediatric surgical practice and affords a critical and reasoned view of relevant, basic and clinical science." -- JAMA
