Surgery of Liver Disease in Children

by Edward R. Howard (Editor)

This reference on current surgical results, for both pediatric surgeons and pediatricians, begins with a detailed discussion of modern anesthetic techniques and intensive care management, followed by a chapter on clinical investigation. The main sections relating to biliary tract problems, tumors, portal hypertension, infection, trauma and transplantation have been designed to provide a comprehensive survey of current management and surgical results in these relatively rare conditions. Contributors were chosen either for their intimate knowledge and involvement in the work at King's College Hospital, London, or for their unique experience in a particular facet of the subject.
