Fundamentals of Pediatric Surgery: Second Edition

by Peter Mattei (Editor), Peter F. Nichol (Editor), Michael D. Rollins, II (Editor), Christopher S. Muratore (Editor)

Overview

The previous edition of this book was based on a simple but essential philosophy: provide a practical and up-to-date resource for the practicing surgeon detailing the specific needs and special considerations surrounding the surgical care of children. The second edition of Fundamentals of Pediatric Surgery stays true to the philosophy of the original with several significant enhancements.  As well as encompassing the most up-to-date and practical clinical information for the experienced surgeon written in a straightforward narrative style, each chapter provides a rationale for the proposed approach based on the scientific evidence available in the literature and the author’s personal clinical experience, supplies a detailed algorithm or clinical protocol in a graphic format, initiates a discussion regarding unanswered questions and proposals for future studies, and includes a list of suggested readings. Chapters cover in great detail a broad range of pediatric general surgery topics, including disorders of all major organ systems of the abdomen and thorax, congenital anomalies presenting in the newborn period, and a variety of maladies germane to the growing field of fetal surgery.  The authors also provide authoritative discussions of therapeutic methods and surgical techniques that range from the traditional to the modern, including time-honored open operations, contemporary minimally invasive interventions, and emerging technologies such as single-site and robotic surgery.  Written by experts in the field, Fundamentals of Pediatric Surgery, Second Edition is a definitive source of readily available clinical information that residents, fellows or attending surgeons can use to take care of actual patients in real time.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Robert M Arensman, MD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
Description: This is the second edition of a large, comprehensive book detailing surgical care of children. First published in 2011, it required major revisions, new illustrations, and a general update.
Purpose: The editors state that the second edition is "intended to be a reliable source of up-to-date information regarding the everyday care of children with a surgical condition." The book is quite successful, although it suffers, as do all books that try to be too comprehensive, from including topics that can be and are better handled in books devoted to subspecialty care, albeit still provided in many cases by pediatric general surgeons in the U.S. (specifically, such topics as anesthesia or hand injuries).
Audience: The book is "meant for pediatric and general surgeons, pediatric surgery fellows, surgery residents, and other advanced practitioners...Finally, it is hoped that pediatric surgery fellows will find this book to be a rich and up-to-date source of pertinent information related to the actual day-to-day care of the surgical child...." To that end, the four editors, all well-known members of divisions of pediatric surgery in Philadelphia, Madison, Salt Lake City, and Providence, have assembled 142 contributors, primarily from North American centers of child care to write the book.
Features: The book is divided into 13 parts. Using a standard format, the first three deal with general topics of perioperative care, critical care, and trauma. These are often background chapters and occasionally "catch-all" sections that include topics that are not easily sorted by anatomy, i.e. ECMO and conjoined twins. Parts 4-13 follow the usual anatomical distribution, head down. So part 4 begins with head and neck problems, leads into the esophagus, then thorax/mediastinum. The process ends with rectum/anus and then returns to the upper abdomen for liver/spleen, pancreas, etc. Tumors are handled in 11 chapters in part 12, and the book concludes with five chapters on skin and soft tissue, which includes a chapter on breast problems. The text is nicely illustrated, often with color photographs. However, the radiographs are of rather poor quality and hard to read or interpret, and show to poor effect. The book is without references, but includes an editor's comment at the conclusion of each chapter just before suggested readings that are either quite commodious or very brief.
Assessment: Taken as a totality, this is a nice redo of a very standard book on pediatric surgery which had become dated. It is large, thorough, occasionally freighted with an extraneous chapter, but overall it will be enjoyed and used by the intended audience with delight and thanks for some years to come.
