Oesophagogastric Surgery 5/e - Print and E-Book

Oesophagogastric 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.
