Synopsis:

This totally revised, new edition offers concise chapters, each focusing on the treatment of a condition commonly encountered by colon and rectal surgeons, specifically surgical therapies for diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus. Chapters are written by noted authorities in the field, and the authorship of each chapter changes in each edition. In the tradition of the "Current Therapy" series, this volume offers a "quick consultation with the experts" on contemporary treatment approaches in colon and rectal surgery. New chapters include coverage of anal carcinoma; anorectal pain syndromes; fecal impaction; rectocele; preoperative evaluation of the rectal cancer patient; pouchitis and complications of the pelvic pouch; diverticulitis; molecular biology of colorectal cancer and implications for therapy; management of the malignant polyp; pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer; acute and chronic ischemia of the small bowel; colorectal surgery in the high-risk patient; management of hemorrhage during pelvic surgery; prevention and treatment of complications of laparoscopic intestinal surgery; and outcomes of colorectal surgery.
