Handbook of Pediatric Surgery

"Written by residents and attendings of the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital, the handbook will be a portable, pocket-sized quick reference covering 1) management of the pediatric surgical patient, 2) pediatric trauma surgery, 3) common pediatric surgical problems, and 4) pediatric surgical oncology. Chapters in Section 3, which represents half the book, will follow a template of headings; Historical Background, Relevant Anatomy, Epidemiology and Etiology, Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis, Surgical Management, and Postoperative Care. The book will be moderately illustrated (a few figures per chapter) and does not aim to provide step by step, skin-to-skin coverage of procedures. It will provide succinct overviews along with clinical pearls and algorithms where appropriate"--
