Recenzje

"The book covers the entire spectrum of neonatal general surgery. Basic science areas such as embryology and pathology are covered well. ... This is a well-written and presented book. It will be very useful for the intended audience. It fills a niche not well covered in other available books." (Vincent R. Adolph, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2018)
