  "Clinical Algorithms in General Surgery provides a useful resource for surgeons in clinical practice as well as surgical residents, and surgical attendings who are preparing for board examinations. This text takes the major pathologies of the systems commonly studied in general surgery and presents them in a unique format based upon algorithms. The algorithms begin with the clinical presentation of the patient, work their way through the various diagnostic modalities available to the surgeon, and finally allow the physician to make a decision regarding treatment options based upon various patterns in the algorithms."

  "The latest edition of this text provides a practical reference for physicians and other healthcare providers caring for patients with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Similar to the previous edition published in 2010, this volume addresses common problems associated with GI bleeding and discusses in a logical and step-wise fashion appropriate options for patient care. The text is structured based on the location of bleeding, with common, rare and unknown sources being addressed. It also includes updated and new chapters focusing on the newest advances in imaging and interventional modalities in the care of patients with GI bleeding, as well as highly practical presentations of typical patients seen in clinical practice."

  "The SAGES Manual: Ethics of Surgical Innovation provides a comprehensive review of the ethical issues involved with the development, evaluation, and introduction of new treatments of gastrointestinal diseases. How several landmark surgical innovations were developed are described to show the challenges faced, and the ethical dilemmas these innovators dealt with. The challenges of dealing with regulatory issues, and how to work with industry partners, and investors when working on a new therapy is described. This text is a resource for surgeons, researchers, and health policy personnel to understand the ethical issues related to the development, introduction, and adoption of innovative therapies for gastrointestinal diseases."

  "Advanced Therapy in Minimally Invasive Surgery is a great collection of chapters written by many surgical leaders in their respective fields.… It is not intended as a cookbook for the novice but serves as a starting off point from which to conceptualize laparoscopic techniques and how they may be employed to treat patients. The advanced surgeon will find numerous invaluable technical tips." — Annals of Surgery
