There is a very large body of literature on Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC), much of it is confusing and contradictory. This book consolidates all the relevant aspects to provide clinicians and especially trainees with an overview of this condition which informs clinical practice and aids critical appraisal of new research in this area.
The topic of NEC is often a single chapter in a paediatric surgical or neonatology text. This book is an invaluable guide for anyone caring for neonates.
