… Institutional experience and expert clinical review of the literature make the text current and applicable to daily practice… A book that emphasizes outcome rather than diagnosis and procedures has become essential, as health care moves to measures of efficacy, safety, acceptability, and cost effectiveness… heartily endorse this work to my colleagues. 'Robert J.Touloukian MD, James.
'Pediatric Surgery and Urology is an impressive text providing a unique and comprehensive view of the entire spectrum of surgical and urological conditions found in neonatal and pediatric patients.… It is surprising to discover a surgical textbook which may find its way onto the shelves of anyone who is involved in managing neonates, infants or children with long-term effects of surgical intervention. It is even more rare to find a book which should be an essential reference for those practicing in such a potentially broad field, from neonatologists to pediatric / adult physicians, surgeons and urologists. This book should provide the cornerstone of practice in these fields. " Archives of Disease in Childhood Archives of Disease in Childhood.
'… This is an essential reference for pediatric surgeons and urologists and should be required reading for all trainees. It would be of interest to pediatricians and surgeons undertaking any adult general surgery of childhood. ' This is the only book this year that I've practically read cover-to-cover, and I do not think you can get much more of a recommendation than that. " Journal of Pediatric Urology.
'This is superbly written with significant emphasis on long-term outcomes. The chapters are authored by experts who holistically provide up-to-date evidence for contemporary clinical practice. … This is an ideal text for a paediatric surgical trainee preparing for his or her exit examination.' It encompasses all aspects of governance, and provides a template for accepted surgical practice and a benchmark for measurement of outcomes. " British Journal of Surgery.
