Fundamentals of Anorectal Surgery

This complete, comprehensive and current compendium presents diagnosis and treatment of the entire spectrum of anorectal diseases. It focuses almost exclusively on anorectal problems, leaving colonic disease to other texts. This emphasis is necessary as anorectal pathology is often times more complex and challenging for the surgeon. Reviews anorectal anatomy, physiology and embryology as a foundation to a detail description of preoperative, intraoperative and post operative patient management. All surgical procedures are shown in step-by-step detail by world class surgeons and gastroenterologists.
