Colorectal Surgery 4/e: A Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice

Ever since the publication of the first edition in 1997, the Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series has met
the needs of surgeons in higher training and practising consultants by providing contemporary, evidence-based
information on the sub-specialist areas relevant to their general surgical practice. All eight volumes are thoroughly
edited and supported by evidence-based references to support key recommendations. This new Fourth Edition brings
together the relevant state-of-the-art specialist information that the editors and authors consider important for the
practising sub-specialist general surgeon.
