Review
From the reviews: The editors of the Atlas of Upper Gastrointestinal and Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery set out to provide a comprehensive atlas of surgical techniques encompassing the spectrum of disease processes ! . The richness of the illustrations is certainly one of the features that make this atlas pleasing to read and a desirable work to own. This is an impressive surgical atlas that will be a valued addition to the library of surgeons in training and a rich resource for experienced gastrointestinal surgeons in practice. (Kevin G.
