Key Clinical Topics In Paediatric Surgery

Product Full Description

Quick Overview This new book aims to fill a longstanding void. Its principal purpose is to provide senior trainees in the UK with a concise revision aid for the Intercollegiate Specialty Board Examination in Paediatric Surgery. In addition, its international authorship ensures that candidates attempting Paediatric Surgery Board Examinations in their respective countries will also derive benefit. The topics have been set out in alphabetical order. The start of each topic provides the reader with clearly defined learning outcomes. The broad content then reflects the generality of paediatric surgery. It has been our aim to focus on the principles of management rather than minutiae and, as such, this book will also appeal to more junior surgeons. It is important to emphasise the beneficial effect of a multidisciplinary team approach upon clinical outcomes and this resonates throughout the text. Specific and general information about operative approaches has been incorporated where possible. The experienced paediatric surgeon requires a sound knowledge not only of paediatric surgery but also of closely allied topics such as anaesthesia, medicine, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery, all of which have been included.
