Rezensionen

"It covers the full gamut of general surgical and vascular problems likely to be encountered in the over-65 population. ... This is a nice addition to the field. ... this book can be of interest to surgeons working in this field and potentially to all surgeons who care for the increasingly aging population." (Carol Scott-Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2018)
