Review:
"The Gale Encyclopedia of Surgery will help patients and their families by showing them what happens during the diagnosis, surgical procedure, and aftercare. It is very up-to-date, offering information on new techniques such as virtual colonoscopy, and will be accessible to lay readers with high school literacy levels. It is an excellent addition to public and consumer health libraries."
