The Essentials of Paediatric Surgery

This little book on pediatric surgery has, because of its popularity, come to a second edition within 5 years. Once again the authors have directed the book primarily to the senior medical student but have also, because of the interest shown by colleagues, added material not of immediate interest to a student. In a few places the chapter headings and positions have been altered and this has resulted in increased clarity and better continuity. The book begins with a chapter on the causes of congenital malformation, and this has been expanded and rewritten to bring it up to date.
