Liver Surgery: From Basics to Robotics, An Issue of Surgical Clinics (Volume 90-4) (The Clinics: Surgery, Volume 90-4) - Tapa dura

Críticas

"From the basics of liver surgery to more advanced robotics, this book is brief, up to date, contains good quality pictures, giving a solid overview of many different themes...The language is fluent and easily comprehensible, and the content feels richer than the slim 300 pages would suggest. I recommend this book especially to specialist candidates, but also specialists in gastrointestinal surgery, who will be able to enjoy it as a concise, straightforward supplement to their work."
