Reviews / Votes
"The comprehensive nature of the book is impressive and the update long overdue. There are some gems, like the chapter on allotransplantation of the bowel, which usually only receives a paragraph or two in other books."- Shauna Lorenzo-Rivero, AB, MD (University of Tennessee College of Medicine - Chattanooga) for Doody's Review Service
