Il testo offre allo studente una visione d'insieme dei concetti fondamentali della Chirurgia Pediatrica al fine di favorire l'apprendimento delle caratteristiche cliniche delle varie condizioni morbose, delle basi biologiche dei processi patologici, della diagnosi e del trattamento delle patologie abitualmente osservate nella pratica clinica. L'intento è quello di trattare ogni campo della patologia chirurgica pediatrica in maniera chiara e sintetica, avvalendosi di contenuti aggiornati e di una opportuna iconografia. La caratteristica principale di quest'opera è rappresentata dall'inserimento di cospicue fotografie ottenute durante gli esami diagnostici. Il piano dell'opera è organizzato in più parti le quali interessano il management del paziente chirurgico, il management prenatale, l'inquadramento mirato dei vari quadri patologici classificati in base al distretto anatomico interessato, la patologia neoplastica e le anomalie vascolari e linfatiche.

La SIGENP (Società Italiana Gastroenterologia Epatologia e Nutrizione Pediatrica), fondata nel 1992, è una società scientifica affiliata alla Società Italiana di Pediatria. Tra gli obiettivi che la SIGENP persegue, ricordiamo in particolare: la promozione di studi di fisiopatologia dell'intestino, del fegato, del pancreas e di nutrizione clinica in età pediatrica; l'educazione scientifica dei giovani ricercatori; attraverso l'aggiornamento dei pediatri in gastroenterologia; le attività di ricerca e lo sviluppo di relazioni scientifiche con le altre società italiane e internazionali. In quest'ottica, la SIGENP si è impegnata a pubblicare il "Manuale SIGENP di gastroenterologia ed epatologia pediatrica", testo che vuole essere di riferimento per i medici intenzionati ad approfondire la disciplina, per il pediatra di famiglia e per il pediatra in formazione.
