Pediatric Surgical Procedures (Hardback)

Young pediatric surgeons usually look for a comprehensive textbook updating their surgical knowledge and skills in a simple way. This is the idea behind the project of this series regarding pediatric surgical procedures. We try to update theoretical information, clinical decision-making, and surgical steps via chapters with many illustrations and figures that could guide the surgeon’s decisions and pave the way for competent training and skills improvement. In this Volume I, six chapters are included, starting with a general section covering general anaesthesia background for pediatric laparoscopic surgery. Then, Section 2 presents two reconstructive major procedures with more than 10 figures in each, including cleft lip/palate repair and neurogenic bladder. Topics cover areas from head to neck, chest to inguinal canal, and urinary bladder. Section 3, comprising three chapters, provides updated knowledge on pediatric inguinal hernia in two chapters, while the final chapter offers a comprehensive update on thymectomy in children. This will hopefully appetize the readers for future volumes, as the submission will include a complete view of all surgical specialities dealing with children, infants, and neonates. In this new and updated guide for different pediatric surgery procedures, we hope that we give a hand to all pediatric surgeons, whether residents or specialists, to improve in the wide pediatric surgery field.
