Mayo Clinic Gastrointestinal Surgery

Over 50 surgeons from the Mayo Clinic have collaborated to present the definitive new single-volume work on gastrointestinal surgery. Focusing on practical surgical how-to rather than basic science, it delivers all of the step-by-step, richly illustrated guidance surgeons need to successfully reproduce the many operative procedures perfected by the Mayo Clinic staff.
