About this title

Review

"The comprehensive nature of the book is impressive and the update long overdue. There are some gems, like the chapter on allotransplantation of the bowel, which usually only receives a paragraph or two in other books."

- Shauna Lorenzo-Rivero, AB, MD (University of Tennessee College of Medicine - Chattanooga) for Doody's Review Service
