A manual of operative surgery providing systematic accounts of surgical technique and procedure in coloproctology for specialists and general surgeons. The four co-authors avoid descriptions and outcomes, instead focusing on "how it's done" in cases of proctologic procedures, sphincter and pelvic floor reconstruction, rectal prolapse, rectal polyps, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, bowel obstruction, colorectal trauma and bleeding, and fistulas. A separate introductory discussion reviews common issues, general surgical technique, the use of stomas, and operative procedure. Includes line drawings.
