Endocrine Surgery

There has been a recent surge of interest within the world of endocrine surgery in the US and worldwide with resultant significant changes on the way surgery is performed. Where before a 5-7 year period was taken for a general surgeon, after which the medic would take a 1 year residency then a fellowship, now they are looking at 3 years core surgery and then going straight to specialise, opening up the discipline to more people. The book is a valuable tool for those revising for board examinations and Fellowship examinations. The text, compiled by expert authors from the USA, Europe and Asia, provides an international perspective on the basic knowledge and clinical management.

From the reviews:“This new endocrine surgery book comprehensively covers both the fundamentals as well as most current aspects of the field. … It is targeted primarily at endocrine surgeons and general surgeons or residents with a particular interest in endocrine surgery. … endocrinologists, radiologists, or nuclear medicine physicians would also find the book useful. … The chapters are well written and enjoyable to read. … The liberal use of images and color figures adds tremendously to the text and distinguishes this book.” (Sonia L. Sugg, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2009)“This comprehensive review of the current literature and practice in endocrine surgery takes the time to describe procedural processes necessary to perform the current surgical therapies. … This book is highly informative for developing residents and a great review for practicing surgeons. … This is a well written book that will benefit those in training and keep those in practice up to date with the latest advances in the field.” (Julie Cupp, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2012)
