About this title

Review:

From the reviews of the second edition:

"Milsom and Bohn successfully present a thorough review of the current state of minimally invasive colorectal surgery... The text serves as a useful review of both open and closed elements of colorectal surgery. Chief residents, fellows, and established surgeons can readily benefit from this foundation of knowledge." (Diseases of the colon and rectum)

"The current second edition has been written to reflect the changes in technology and technique that have evolved over the past decade. ... Overall, Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery can be highly recommended. It will be invaluable to both higher surgical trainees aiming to grasp the principles of laparoscopic colorectal surgery as well as established colorectal surgeons wishing to build on previous experience. It is probably the most authoritative and practical guide to modern laparoscopic colorectal surgery currently available." (David Jayne, Diseases of the Colon and Rectum, Vol. 51, 2008)
