The SAGES Manual
Description
Bariatric surgery is an increasingly common procedure, but far from an easy one. Patient assessment and selection must be careful. Complications can arise quite often. Training levels can be uneven among clinicians.
The SAGES Manual of Bariatric Surgery bridges the gaps and serves as a practical and concise starting point for the surgeon adding these procedures to his skill set.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"This is a convenient, multifaceted guide to the principles and practice of bariatric surgery and related topics. . The manual is targeted primarily at the members of the multidisciplinary team involved in a bariatric surgery program: surgeons, fellows and residents, physician extenders, nutritionists, nurses, psychologists, and specialty physicians. . It will also be a valuable addition to the reference section of medical libraries." (Isaac Samuel, Doody's Review Services, December, 2008)
