It is also invaluable for trainers in the above specialties as an accessible reference to complement their experience.” (Doody's Reviews, May 2009)

" The readers of any books devoted to surgical complications will inevitably be looking for insights into how to avoid these complications in the first place. In this outstanding new textbook, they will not be disappointed." - from the foreword by David F.M. Thomas, Leeds Teaching Hospitals, UK
