Aimed at current practitioners and trainees, the book discusses key concepts that will assist general surgeons and colorectal consultants in their management of patients with a broad spectrum of anorectal and colonic disorders.

Review

From the reviews:

"An up-to-date, comprehensive analysis of recent developments in diagnosis and treatment of malignant and the most frequent benign diseases of the colon and rectum. a ] A very interesting book that could be considered a handy guide in everyday activities not only for gastroenterologists, surgeons and oncologist, but also for general practitioners. Medical students too could find it a valuable overview compendium." (L. S. Schipani, Digestive and Liver Disease, Vol. 38, 2006)
