Edited by world renowned surgeons and with expert chapters from contributors in North America, Europe, and Australasia, the book is essential reading for the experienced surgeon established in colorectal practice as well as advanced trainees in general surgery.

The book comprehensively covers surgery of the anus, rectum and colon in 87 chapters, grouped into nine sections for ease of reference (General Principles, Proctology, Stomas, Small Intestine, Colon, Rectum, Perineal Reconstruction, Rectal Prolapse and Surgery for Incontinence).

A masterful account of contemporary surgical practice, Operative Surgery of the Colon, Rectum and Anus will remain the definitive atlas of coloproctology for years to come.
