Rezensionen
"This is a useful, comprehensive, practical guide to modernassessment and management of complex intestinal failure cases. Thebook was compiled by experienced clinicians resulting in anauthoritative, novel resource on intestinal failure."(Doody's Reviews, March 2009)
"A comprehensive overview of the far-reaching effects ofloss of the gut. It is a good update on state-of-the-art treatmentof patients ... and the authors also go behind the scenes todiscuss aspects of care ... .Intestinal Failure gives insightinto recent progress in the understanding of intestinal failure,covers the most important topics that the clinician working in thisarea will face ... .Despite major improvements in the survivalof patients with severe intestinal failure, the treatment ofpatients with poor gut function remains an exciting and challengingarea of medicine, and this book enables the reader to have a goodoverview and understanding of the topic."
