…part of the highly successful 'Recent Advances' series…The Gastrointestinal Surgery section is superb; of the four articles included, I have read and directly used three of them since receiving my review copy….Undoubtedly it is indispensable for those taking their membership exams…the articles are all interesting, all discuss surgery that most medical students will come across and are all immensely readable.

Irish Journal of Medical Science
…a useful study-aid for those anticipating the Intercollegiate examinations, as well as a concise read for busy consultant surgeons wishing to benefit from a synopsis of current thinking in various surgical issues.

British Journal of Surgery
One of the great strengths of the book is that it addresses topics that have been featured extensively in surgical publications over the past few years. As such, it is ideal for the busy academic surgeon, involved with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, who needs to keep abreast of current trends…the book is concise and in a well constructed format…It is recommended to all surgeons who feel the need for 'academic update'.

Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England
…a must and an indispensable volume for all surgeons, especially senior trainees preparing for surgical membership and intercollegiate examinations…The style allows the reader to dip in and out of the content without the risk of indigestion from the consumption of too large or complicated chunks of information.
