    Reviews

    ‘Many textbooks have been published in the past outlining and discussing bariatric surgery, but they have focused only on the surgery. This book is a refreshing change as it looks at anaesthesia and perioperative care … well structured … relevant to all perioperative practitioners, especially operating department practitioners, anaesthetic and recovery nurses. Preassessment nurses and pain management nurses would also find this book useful.’
