Readership: Paediatric surgeons; General surgeons with paediatric practice

Reviews:

"Chapters cover the full spectrum of speciality neonatal surgery as well as a comprehensive general overview of the guiding principles ... In both these regards this text represents one of the best and would be a valuable reference in the neonatal library."
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health (praise for the previous edition)

"We have found the book valuable in furthering our understanding of the [surgical] problems we see on a day to day basis. Many of the lesions in question are relatively rare, which makes the superspecialist multiauthor approach most valuable. ...I would therefore recommend this book to fellow paediatricians...."
