From the reviews:"Drs. Puri and Hollwarth now provide their excellent general textbook of pediatric surgery that runs to almost 1, 000 pages and attempts to cover the field as currently practiced around the world … . aimed primarily at pediatric surgical trainees and young pediatric surgeons. … this is an excellent addition to the large overview books that attempt to survey the field of pediatric surgery. Students, residents, and fellows will find it quite valuable, but experienced pediatric surgeons also will find much benefit in its pages." (Robert M Arensman, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2009)
