It has been 14 years since the first edition of this book was published in 2009.In these intervening years, major advances in prenatal diagnosis, imaging,anesthesia, intensive care, and minimally invasive surgery including robotictechnology have radically altered the management of infants and childrenwith congenital and acquired surgical conditions.This second edition of Pediatric Surgery has been substantially revisedand updated to reflect these advances in pediatric surgery. It contains 106chapters from 234 contributors from five continents. Each chapter has beenwritten by internationally renowned pediatric surgeons with significant experiencein their respective field of interest. Many younger surgeons who willbecome the next generation of leaders in pediatric surgery were invited asauthors or co-authors. This edition contains nine new chapters on importanttopics including respiratory management of the surgical patient, access toenteral nutrition, surgical safety, surgical problems in children with disabilities,surgical implications of HIV infection in children, esophageal replacement,variant Hirschsprung’s disease, and long-term outcomes in pediatricsurgery. We have maintained the previous format, dividing the book into 13sections. However, as the page extent of the second edition exceeds 1500pages, we have split the book into two volumes for practical reasons.The new edition of this book provides an authoritative, comprehensive,and complete account of the pathophysiology and management of surgicaldisorders in infants and children. The book is mainly intended for pediatricsurgical trainees and young pediatric surgeons, providing a comprehensivedescription of various surgical conditions in children with a major emphasison diagnosis and management.
