Endocrine Surgery A Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice 3/e

Description
The popular series - A Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice
provides senior surgical trainees with a concise learning and revision source, and the practising surgeon with a
regular update in a particular sub-specialty. Each volume in the series gives a current summary of the key topics
within the specialty and concentrates on recent developments. As in the previous edition, evidence-based practice is
indicated where appropriate - icons are used throughout the books to highlight sections of text and key references
which are considered to be associated with reasonable evidence, i.e. are supported by randomized clinical trials,
systematic literature reviews, meta-analysis or observational studies.
