Reconstructive Surgery of the Rectum, Anus and Perineum

DESCRIPTION

Didactic text with an algorithm approach using operative photographs and composite explanatory line drawings, complemented by ‘how-to’ guides describing the technical tips and pitfalls from experienced world-renowned commentators

Reconstructive Colorectal and Anal Surgery presents a didactic discussion of complex colonic, rectal, anal, and perineal problems which require reoperative surgery. The book provides a very practical description of the management towards these problems including preoperative investigation, postoperative follow-up and detailed operative approach. The text is aimed at being relatively didactic with an algorithm approach to these complicated cases using operative photographs and composite explanatory line drawings which are complemented by ‘how-to’ guides in all cases describing the operative technical tips and pitfalls from experienced world-renowned commentators. Given the rapid change in techniques over the last 10 years newer procedures will be incorporated.

This book will be essential reading for all colorectal surgeons and trainees, general surgeons and trainees, gynecologists as well as specialist nurses in the OR room.
