From the reviews: "This book covers many surgical procedures that can be performed on a short stay basis, either same day surgery or with a 23 hour recovery. ... Practicing clinicians who desire to increase the percentage of their short stay practice are the intended audience. It is also a good book for medical students rotating through their junior clerkships as it encompasses anesthesia principles ... . Junior house officers will also benefit ... . This is a good companion for senior medical students, residents, and practicing surgeons." (Susan Skaff Hagen, Doody's Review Service, May, 2008)
