The definitive illustrated resource on the surgical management of infants and children -- with an emphasis on
operative
technique
Operative Pediatric Surgery, Second Edition is a comprehensive, well-illustrated text that delivers expert coverage of
the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric surgical disease. This detailed single-volume resource is
enhanced by numerous drawings, radiographs, and photographs that illustrate the authors’ preferred operative
techniques. Wherever appropriate, diagnostic and care guidelines are also included.
Operative Pediatric Surgery, Second Edition is divided into 11 sections that include a total of 100 chapters. The book
opens with an informative General Principles section that provides important background information on topics such as
the history of pediatric surgery, ethical considerations, pediatric surgical critical care, and office-based
ambulatory
surgery. The rest of the text is organized primarily by organ, enhanced by a timely section on solid organ
transplantation.
In this Second Edition, each chapter author has thoroughly updated and refreshed their topic, and in many instances,
minimally invasive operative techniques are included with open approaches. There are also exciting new chapters on:
* Hypospadias
* Vesicoureteral reflux
* Non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas
* Gastrointestinal polyps and cancer
* Adolescent bariatric surgery
Operative Pediatric Surgery will prove to be an essential reference for pediatric surgeons seeking optimal diagnosis
and treatment approaches for their patients.
