It should be compulsory reading for candidates for the DCH examination and for higher fellowships in paediatrics and general surgery" Child "The first edition was 'strongly recommended' in this column, a verdict which can readily be repeated for this new eiditon and with the addition of 'very'...full marks!" Archives of Diseases in Childhood "A rich but concise source of information...well-chosen illustrations and a very carefully selected bibliography...I enjoyed reading this book. Paediatric Annals "Strongly recommended...you can be sure this book will be appreciated..." British Journal of Surgery "This unique book applies a systematic approach to explain the role of surgery in treating childhood diseases. Throughout the book key subject areas are supported by case vignettes as well as high quality photographs and illustrations. This is a nicely done ... contribution to pediatric surgical literature."
