Newborn Surgery

This book is the leading international source of reference on
the surgical management of neonatal disorders. It provides a
comprehensive compendium of the pathophysiology, investigation
and management of these conditions. Nearly 100 contributed
chapters bring together a unique international consensus of
expert opinion. All modern developments - including advances in
fetal surgery - are covered in this revised edition. As well as
a comprehensive update throughout, the second edition includes
several new chapters on ground-breaking developments in neonatal
surgery. The authorship has been expanded to bring in a number
