Colorectal Surgery 5/e - Print and E-Book

A Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice



Colorectal Surgery meets the needs of surgeons in higher training and practising consultants for a contemporary and
evidence-based account of this sub-specialty that is relevant to their general surgical practice. It is a practical
reference source incorporating the most current information on recent developments, management issues and operative
procedures. The text is thoroughly referenced and supported by evidence-based recommendations wherever possible,
distinguishing between strong evidence to support a conclusion, and evidence suggesting that a recommendation can be
reached on the balance of probabilities.


This is a title in the Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice series whose eight volumes are an established and
highly regarded source of information for the specialist general surgeon.



New to This Edition

The contents of the series have been extensively revised in line with recently published evidence.

New techniques, such as percutaneous and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation for faecal incontinence as well as
extralevator abdomino-perineal excision, are fully covered.
