Endocrine Surgery 5/e - Print and E-Book

Endocrine Surgery meets the needs of surgeons in higher training and practising consultants for a contemporary and
evidence-based account of this sub-specialty that is relevant to their general surgical practice. It is a practical
reference source incorporating the most current information on recent developments, management issues and operative
procedures. The text is thoroughly referenced and supported by evidence-based recommendations wherever possible,
distinguishing between strong evidence to support a conclusion, and evidence suggesting that a recommendation can be
reached on the balance of probabilities.


This is a title in the Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series whose eight volumes are an established and
highly regarded source of information for the specialist general surgeon.



New to This Edition
An expanded authorship team across the series includes additional European and World experts with an increased emphasis
on global practice.

The contents of the series have been extensively revised in line with recently published evidence.

All the chapters reflect the multidisciplinary approach to the subject with up-to-date information on cytopathology,
assays of hormones, localisation techniques, anaesthetic requirements, genetic implications and, of course,
histopathology and adjuvant treatments.

Minimally invasive approaches continue to be promoted and developed throughout the book.


The text has a closer emphasis on practical and pragmatic approaches to clinical scenarios.
