Fully updated in this second edition, Newborn Surgery is a leading international reference on the surgical management of neonatal disorders. Providing a comprehensive compendium of the pathophysiology, investigation and management of these conditions, the editor has assembled a unique international consensus of expert opinion from over 100 contributing authors. The text opens with a series of chapters covering general topics in neonatal surgery, including basic science aspects, surgical techniques, pre-, peri- and post-operative care, anesthetic aspects, and ethical issues. Subsequent chapters are divided into parts according to anatomical site. Groundbreaking developments in neonatal surgery, including fetal surgery, are covered in several chapters entirely new to this second edition. Elsewhere, chapters have been thoroughly revised. This up-to-date analysis of current practice, providing comprehensive guidance to the diagnosis and management of all surgical conditions in the fetus and neonate, will be an invaluable reference for pediatric surgeons and for general surgeons with pediatric practice.
