There is no doubt that the authors are highly competent and experienced surgeons and this book should have been excellent. I bought it sight unseen and that was a big mistake. The english is appalling- more like pidgin- and this renders it unusable for native english speakers. It should have been so simple to get a good translation so it baffles me that they produced something like this.
