TY - JOUR T1 - SUrgical diseases of the pancreas AU - Wade TP Y1 - 1998/05/01 N1 - JO - Archives of Surgery SP - 577 EP - 577 VL - 133 IS - 5 N2 - In an effort of this magnitude, it is most difficult to maintain consistency in style and presentation across the chapters, particularly in the quality of illustrations and tables. This book is notable for a clear, consistent visual quality, with hundreds of excellent line drawings apparently done by a single artist. A separate section of color plates is well referenced in the text as to where these photographs apply. The editors succeed in making each chapter flow with the preceding one despite the large number of authors, many from non–English speaking countries. Few typographical or editorial errors are discoverable. Although this book is directed to the clinician, the chapters on molecular biology and serum protein markers are comprehensive and easily read. Newer methods of pancreatic diagnosis are covered by invasive radiologists and endoscopists, with crisp illustrations and technical descriptions. SN - 0004-0010 M3 - doi: UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ER -
