Reviews

From the reviews:“This is part of multivolume set of handbooks from the World Society of Emergency Surgery intended to provide a practical guide to procedures, techniques, and operative strategy in trauma and acute surgery. … General surgeons at initial levels of training and experience are an appropriate audience for this work … . Line drawings and tables reproduce well. More tables describing scoring systems and injury types would be extremely helpful.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2014)
