Description
Ever since the publication of the first edition in 1997, the Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series has met the needs of
surgeons in higher training and practising consultants by providing contemporary, evidence-based information on the sub-specialist areas
relevant to their general surgical practice. All eight volumes are thoroughly edited and supported by evidence-based references to support
key recommendations. This new Fourth Edition brings together the relevant state-of-the-art specialist information that the editors and
