Description

Pediatric surgery is a surgical subspecialty that involves the application of surgical procedures to cure diseases and disorders of childhood.

It is distinct from adult surgery for a number of reasons: the child itself cannot consent to the procedure; examination of the child is harder; children’s anatomy is less well developed and smaller than an adult’s, so there is less margin of error; and children cannot tolerate anaesthesia as well as adults. As a result the surgical options available to children differ from those in adults. But as with so much in medicine, technological and medical advances, mean that these options and their relative importance are always changing.



Jones' Clinical Paediatric Surgery provides clear-sighted advice on the surgical options available for young patients.

Building on the popular and successful style of previous editions, this fully revised seventh edition employs a systematic approach to the childhood diseases that need surgical treatment. It includes more case vignettes and colour photographs, expanded coverage on the use of imaging, and updated approaches to management including laparoscopic operations. Key subject areas are supported by case vignettes in a familiar format similar to what might appear in an OSCE viva.

Jones' Clinical Paediatric Surgery is the ideal guide for paeditricians, surgeons and trainees, as well as primary care physicians, junior doctors and medical students.
