“The book ‘introduces the most up-to-date representative Japanese pediatric surgical procedures and points in pre- and postoperative management.’ … the book achieves its goals. The book is clearly written and can be understood by all. … The line drawings, well done, sharp, concise, and easily understood, stand out as the best features of the book. … This English translation of a Japanese book is a good and fairly complete survey of all things in the realm of pediatric surgery.” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
