Customer Reviews

I highly recommend this to all undergraduate students
This book covers paediatric surgery using a common-sense approach, providing enough detail for the undergraduate student or junior doctor to fully understand the aetiology of surgical conditions in a logical, simplified manner. After reading it I felt that I could comfortably diagnose many of the conditions covered and understand the principles of management. It also provides the basic principles of the surgery that follows, standing the student in good stead in the operation theatre without bogging you down with immense details of the operative process. Its all I needed and more for my paediatric surgery rotation as an undergraduate and it is very readable, with illustrations and diagrams that reinforce your learning. Good buy!!
