Pelvic Floor Disorders for the Colorectal Surgeon

Aimed at consultant colorectal surgeons and those in training who wish to expand their practice into pelvic floor
pathology- a complex and developing area of surgery- Pelvic Floor Disorders for the Colorectal Surgeon provides a
modern, thought-provoking approach to pelvic floor disorders written by emerging young leaders in the field. These
conditions are of high importance and interest to colorectal surgeons, but also gynaecologists, gastroenterologists and
general gastrointestinal surgeons.

The layout of the text book is in 3 sections. The first provides an organizational and diagnostic approach to pelvic
floor problems that is conceptual in scope, the second details the patho-anatomical and physiological entities that
this diagnostic approach will bring to light and describes their management, while the third is more technical,
covering key new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and their results. The textbook aims to encourage the reader to
critically analyze some of their own cherished views, and those more widely established, on colorectal pelvic floor
practice.
