Overview

This complete, comprehensive, and current compendium presents diagnosis and treatment of the entire spectrum of anorectal diseases. The focus is almost exclusively on anorectal conditions, leaving colonic diseases to other texts. This emphasis is necessary as anorectal pathology is often more complex and challenging than colonic pathology, for the surgeon. The text reviews anorectal anatomy, physiology, and embryology as a foundation to a detailed description of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative patient management. All surgical procedures are shown in step-by-step detail by world-renowned surgeons and gastroenterologists.
