From Booknews

Not strictly intended as a surgical "how to" atlas but as a guide to the technical aspects of diagnosis and explanations of the appropriateness of any particular therapy. Stresses clinical and basic science data from both classic and contemporary research and emphasizes practice guidelines based on specific outcome measurements. Each of the sixteen chapters includes introductory information about the abnormality, and descriptions of etiology, clinical correlates, diagnostic modalities, and management techniques. Generously illustrated. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
