Key references missing on Dr Rowena Spencer

[edit]

I have worked with Dr Rowena Spencer from 1991 when she was in New Orleans. Key references are to be added.

  1. Spencer R. Conjoined Twins: Developmental Malformations and Clinical Implications. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press; 2003 Mar 7, 2003.
  2. Spencer R, Robichaux WH, Seo JW. Abnormal vasculature of the liver in thoracopagus twins: case report. Pediatr Pathol Lab Med. 1997;17(2):315-27.
  3. Nakayama DK. Pioneering women in American pediatric surgery. J Pediatr Surg. 2018;53(11):2361-8.
  4. Fishkin CA. Remembering Dr. Rowena Spencer (1922-2014). J Pediatr Surg. 2020;55(3):576-8.

The book #1 is on coinjoined twins written by her, published by Johns Hopkins University press. I was with her when she write the book. Comprehensive search on papers on conjoined twins were carried out. The book is still available on sale at Amazone. the second is a paper on the morphology of the livers and vascular supply to livers in thoracopagus tiwns. This is her last paper published in a scholarly journal. the third and fourth are papers remembering Rowena Spencer as a pediatric surgeon. Jeong-wook Seo (talk) 02:45, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
