In a single, portable volume, you’ll find complete coverage of new diagnostic modalities, medical therapeutics, and surgical treatment options, including minimally invasive surgery. Easy to read and digest, it provides a quick consultation with experts on the essentials of colon and rectal surgery.

Review

"The comprehensive nature of the book is impressive and the update long overdue. There are some gems, like the chapter on allotransplantation of the bowel, which usually only receives a paragraph or two in other books."
