The Exstropy Epispdias Complex  5 Stars
June 10, 2001
This book covers in an expert fashion one of the most severe congental anomalies in infant still compatible with life. While the editors brought colleagues from all over the world to collaborate on this book the strength resides in the chapters from the Hopkins group and their in dept experience with this defect. The chapters on ostoetomy by Dr. Paul D. Sponseller are state of the art reviews of this important adjunct to exstrophy surgery. The chapter of the management of the failed exstrophy was clearly the strongest in the book because of its depth, concise nature and technical guidance for the occasional exstrophy surgeon. All in all a superb text.

Great reference book! by bruce.dangelmaier@usa.xerox.com (Rochester, New York) 5 Stars
September 28, 1999
This is a very good reference book to have for anyone who has bladder exstrophy. A lot of technical illustrations designed for the advanced medical community, but if read slowly enough it can be digestable.....Dr. Gearhart did an excellant job!!!!
