Jones’ Clinical Paediatric Surgery 7th Edition

Jones’ Clinical Paediatric Surgery
The objective of the first edition of this book was to bring together information on surgical conditions in infancy and childhood for use by medical students and resident medical officers. It remains a great satisfaction to our contributors that the book has fulfilled this aim successfully and that a seventh edition is now required. Family doctors, paediatricians and many others concerned with the welfare of children have also found this book useful.
A knowledgeable medical publisher once commented to Peter Jones that this book is not about surgery but about paediatrics, and this is what it should be, as we have continued to omit almost all details of operative surgery.
The plan for the sixth edition has been largely retained but with the addition of new coloured photographs. Mr Alan Woodward has retired as an editor, and we have added two new editors, Mr Warwick Teague and Mr Sebastian King. Nearly half of the contributors to this edition are new members of the hospital staff and bring a fresh outlook and state-of-the-art ideas.
It is now about 20 years since Mr Peter Jones died, and this book remains as a dedication to him. Peter was a great teacher and it is a daunting task for those who follow in his footsteps. We hope this new edition will continue to honour the memory of a great paediatric surgeon who understood what students need to know.
