Created by editors and associate editors who have trained or worked in both Africa and North America/Europe or currently practice in Africa Combines experience of experts from the unique disease profiles in Africa with state of the art knowledge available in high income countries Focuses on unique presentations, treatment and outcomes in low resource settings The second, fully updated edition of this book applies and contextualizes up-to-date information on pediatric surgery for low and middle-income countries (LMIC). The book is organized in general anatomic and thematic sections within pediatric surgery, such as urology, oncology, orthopedics and gastroenterology among others and includes some introductory chapters addressing the unique challenges and approaches for pediatric surgery in low-resource settings. Each chapter has dual authorship of an LMIC author to provide context-specific insights and authors from high income countries (HIC) to contribute experience from well-resourced settings. Written in a reader-friendly format, this book has uniform structure in every chapter, with introduction, demographics, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentations, investigations, management, outcome, prevention, ethics, evidence-based surgery and references. This comprehensive volume fills the gap between up-to-date pediatric surgical scholarship and knowledge developed and applied in HIC, and the practical needs of practitioners in low-resource settings. This is an indispensable guide for postgraduate surgical trainees in Africa and other LMICs as well as general surgeons practicing in Africa and other LMICs, who need to do surgery on children.
