Review

“This is, without a doubt, my go-to GI surgery ebook. As a senior resident, I found its practical insights invaluable, and I am confident it will continue to be a crucial resource as surgical practices evolve. The authors’ foresight in including emerging technologies like the POEM procedure and the Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation Device (Linx) highlights their commitment to incorporating current innovations alongside established surgical techniques. This comprehensive ebook, while perhaps not delving into the intricate molecular details found in other texts, stands out as a prime resource for practicing surgeons and senior residents aiming to excel in the field of GI surgery.” — Peter Nau, MD, MS, FACS (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics) — Doody’s Score: 94, 4 Stars!
