Synopsis
Endocrine surgery is a relatively new speciality but it has at last been accepted in its own right. The system of glands that secrete hormones internally, directly into the lymph nodes or bloodstream, was recognised as a holistic endocrine system, and surgeons appreciated the need to work closely with other specialists - biochemists, pathologists, radiologists - in order to optimise treatment and carry out successful surgery. -Endocrine Surgery Made Easy is an outstanding text and reference manual for both trainees and practising surgeons. The format of the content is designed with -questions and answers' in order to measure and improve the understanding of the reader. It is divided into 5 sections - Thyroid Disorders, (Benign and Malignant), Parathyroid Disorders, Adrenal Disorders, Endocrine Pancreas Disorders, and Other Endocrine Disorders - made up of a total of 69 chapters. A free CD Rom contains the photographs of the case studies in the book. Written by a highly experienced endocrine surgeon, who draws upon many years of treatment and teaching, this book will be read by senior surgical students, general surgeons, endocrine trainees and specialist endocrine surgeons.

Revue de presse
FOREWORD The book which is superbly illustrated has the somewhat unusual format of 'questions and answers' with an enormous number of illustrative clinical cases all personally managed by the author. The endocrine topics covered are extensive, comprehensive and detailed forming an excellent basis for the instruction of general surgeons with an interest in endocrine surgery and also for the more specialised endocrine surgeon. The format of the text is certainly in keeping with the educational axiom 'assessment drives learning'. --Malcolm H Wheeler MD, FRCS
