TY - JOUR T1 - SUrgical management of venous disease AU - Watkins MT Y1 - 1998/03/01 N1 - 10-1001/pubs.Arch Surg.-ISSN-0004-0010-133-3-sbk7003 JO - Archives of Surgery SP - 333 EP - 333 VL - 133 IS - 3 N2 - Surgical Management of Venous Disease is an excellent contribution to the surgical literature. The title substantially understates the scope of the book. This text is divided into 6 major areas: "History and Physiology," "Diagnostic Techniques," "Techniques," "Pathology and Management," "Deep Venous Thrombosis," and "Venous Trauma." Within these areas, the authors successfully present an exceptionally well-written text covering nearly all of the relevant issues in the diagnosis and management of venous disease. Despite 50 contributors, the chapters are presented in a consistent style with little redundancy. The quality of the writing makes this a highly readable book. Most of the topics and diagrams in the chapters describing the physiology of venous disorders are reproduced from a variety of standard well-known monograms and texts; however, their inclusion in this single publication makes this book a valuable resource.
