Each chapter is enriched by very precise, well reproduced images, explanations about the surgical technique/s employed ... and an updated reference list. ... Quite an impressive book to be recommended to surgeons ... and to radiologists (who have to answer surgeons' requests in the best and most precise way) a book to be kept at hand and used in the daily routine in any department." (G. Beluffi, La radiologia medica, Vol. 118, 2013)</p><p>"This book is a 'get out of jail free' card for every radiologist and every surgeon who has to deal with patients following abdominal surgery. ... The text is commendably readable and concise, making it a very good bench book for quick referral when busy lists and impatient surgeons make prompt reporting essential. ... My advice can only be get a copy, keep it close to you; it will become a good friend." (D. Martin, Clinical Radiology, Vol. 68 (2), 2013)</p><p>"This is an excellent book and one that I enjoyed reading and will keep in my room at work to assist with reporting, particularly when I am on-call. ... 'every department should have a copy in their library' and that it was a 'very good book.' ... The book is well illustrated using most imaging modalities, including contrast studies, CT, MRI, and plain films. ... There are many helpful line diagrams illustrating procedures." (Adrian Thomas, RAD Magazine, September, 2012)</p><p>"The Editors (Drs. Brittenden & Tolan) and chapter authors should be congratulated for tackling such a highly challenging topic ... . The chapters are logically organized and peppered with useful schematics that demonstrate the all relevant surgical procedures. ... The many illustrated clinical examples nicely support the text. I would highly recommend this book for anyone faced with the challenge of interpreting radiologic studies in the post-operative setting." (Perry J.
