Wyllie: Pediatric Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease 4th Edition (Expert Consult Series)

We are proud of the Fourth Edition of Pediatric Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease. We have been able to attract a talented roster of international experts who have ably updated many of the chapters where new information arises at a rapid pace. The book continues to be organized into distinct sections starting with basic aspects of gastrointestinal function, followed by common clinical problems, organ-specific diseases, surgical procedures, and gastrointestinal procedures. The last three sections of the book focus on liver disease, pancreatic disease, and nutritional issues. We have added or expanded chapters in emerging areas such as endoscopic procedures and transplantation, including not only liver transplantation, but also small bowel and pancreatic transplantation, in addition to such topics as polyposis syndromes, liver diseases with a genetic etiology, and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases.

We continue to be fortunate in receiving expert and unwavering support from the editorial staff at Elsevier. Special thanks to Taylor Ball and Claire Kramer for their assistance during the development and production of this book.

The production of a large book takes many hours of commitment by our authors. We recognize the increasing demands on everyone's time and want to express our gratitude to them for their efforts. They truly are the engine that drives the train over the hills and valleys of the production process. Lastly, we would like to thank our readership over the past 18 years whose feedback and curiosity have inspired us to move forward with this Fourth Edition. We all learn something new every day in the care of children with gastrointestinal and liver disease, and we hope that this book will provide a platform for the attainment of new knowledge.

-- Robert Wyllie, Jeffrey Hyams
