This totally revised and enlarged new edition offers concise and
well-structured chapters each focusing on the clinical, diagnostic, and
therapeutic aspects of a condition commonly encountered by the
coloproctologist and gastroenterological surgeon, who are faced with an
increasing number of precise and specific treatment modalities. The
comprehensive, yet easy-to-read, information in this practical guide on
both common and rare anorectal and colonic diseases is particularly
important for both the practitioner, who needs to know all the possible
modalities of conservative and surgical treatment, and the surgeon, who
needs to adapt his surgical procedure to the clinical and anatomical
findings. Precise guidelines are given and surgical techniques
illustrated. Each chapter is completed with up-to-date references and a
self-assessment quiz, and a DVD is included.
