Rezensionen / Stimmen
...this text will be useful, not only for doctors, but also for other health care disciplines with an interest in managing problems of the lymphatic system.
Lymphoedema Journal
If each copy of the book purchased led to improved care for a single patient with severe lymphoedema, its publication would be justified. I rather suspect that it will do better than that.
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
A new bible dealing with lymphoedema is now available.
British Journal of Surgery
There is no better book than this one on diseases of the lymphatics.
