✦ Synopsis

The cholangiographs are of a high order and well produced, forming an atlas to guidc not only the beginner.

The present volume is the outcome of many years' devotion to the practice and study of biliary tract and pancreatic surgery. I t incorporates the author's personal experience and the results of Nissen's Surgical Department at Basel, amounting to about 1600 operations together.

Dr. Hess's main ambition has been to write a practical guide for surgeons and radiologists. He has succeeded very well. The usefulness of his book is not confined to radiomanometry alone. It covers in a very comprehensive manner the whole field of surgery of the biliary tract and pancreas in its broadest sense. It is probably the best single available book, worth studying and worth having, despite its high price.
