"The text is well written, appropriately illustrated and
extensively indexed .... This text would be particularly useful
for medical students interested in this field of medicine, junior
practitioners and the more generalist senior surgeon."

"Its goal is to be a practical guide to diagnosis and
decision making in clinical practice and to provide a rich source
of information on diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver.
The book fulfils these objectives remarkably well and it serves as
the perfect companion to the main textbook ... .The authors are
renowned authorities in their respective fields. It will be an
invaluable resource for internists or other clinicians."
