AB Ten  years  ago,  the  first  edition  of  Operative  Pediatric  Surgery  was  published  by  McGraw-Hill.  The  “editorial  purpose”  of  the  book  was  to  consolidate  into  a  single  volume  a  pediatric  surgical  textbook  that  would  include  a  limited  introduction  of  the  topic's  history  and  a  thorough  discussion  of  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  principles,  with  the  generous  use  of  artistic  illustrations,  radiographs,  and  photographs  that  emphasize  the  authors'  preferred  operative  techniques,  all  in  an  atlas  format.  Also  included,  where  appropriate,  would  be  diagnostic  and  treatment  algorithms  or  care  guidelines.  In  this  second  edition,  our  authors  have  presented  a  contemporary  update  of  each  topic,  and  where  relevant  we  have  admixed  minimally  invasive  operative  techniques  with  the  open  approach,  rather  than  separating  laparoscopy  and  thoracoscopy  into  a  separate  topic  as  in  the  first  edition.  This  should  bring  greater  clarity  to  the  current  operation(s)  preferred  by  each  author.
