This is a much-needed comprehensive volume covering the principles of paediatric surgery for the surgical trainee. The coverage of topics enables a sound knowledge base essential for care of the infant or child undergoing hospitalisation for surgical treatment. Due to increased specialisation within paediatric surgery (with the appointment of paediatric urologists, neurosurgeons and oncologists), this book emphasises the need for the trainees to cover a broad range of subjects during the training period.
