"The book is intended as a comprehensive reference to provide guidance to surgeons who operate upon the GI tract. This classic text has been available for more than 60 years, with periodic updates. This most recent edition was produced in partnership with the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract. The objective of providing a comprehensive, authoritative, updated text is a highly worthy one-[it] succeeds admirably. This book could be used by surgical trainees with particular interest in the GI tract but will probably be of greatest value to surgeons actively practicing in this area,... [and] could be of value to gastroenterologists seeking insight into the detailed nature of surgical procedures available to treat gastrointestinal pathology.... Although there are many comprehensive textbooks of operative surgery, and some devoted exclusively to GI surgery, none are as comprehensive as the current edition of this text. I highly recommend this book to any surgeon who operates on the GI tract, and trainees who plan a career operating within the abdomen." Review by Carol Scott-Conner, MD, PhD, MBA, MFA (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics), ©Doody's Review Service, 2025. Doody's Score: 99, 5 Stars!Review of the previous edition: "This is, simply, my favorite GI surgery book. I found it valuable as a senior resident, and I anticipate that it will be valuable in the future as the landscape of surgery changes. The foresight to include new surgical technologies, such as the POEM or the Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation Device (Linx), underscores the authors' commitment to remaining current rather than focusing just on the tried and true surgical options. This is a complete book which, while perhaps lacking some of the more detailed molecular level information found in others, is an excellent resource for practicing surgeons or senior residents seeking to become expert in the field of GI surgery." -Reviewed by Peter Nau, MD, MS, FACS (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics) Doody's Score: 94, 4 Stars!
