This third edition text provides a completely revised and updated version of this unique, modern, practical guide on colorectal surgery. It covers the strategic evaluation, specific approaches, and detailed management techniques utilized by expert colorectal surgeons caring for patients with complex colorectal issues, whether they stem from underlying colorectal diseases or complications arising from previous surgical therapies.
The format serves as both a “how to” manual and an algorithm-based guide, enabling readers to grasp the thought process behind the proposed treatment strategies. By leveraging evidence-based recommendations, each chapter includes:
- Background information
- Diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines
- Narratives by the author detailing operative techniques
- Perioperative “tips and tricks” for managing complex surgical challenges
A distinctive feature of this book is the reliance on experts in the field, including past presidents of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) and other nationally and internationally recognized surgeons. They provide personal insights into scenarios where data may be sparse, emphasizing the importance of individual and collective experience in making sound decisions to optimize patient outcomes.
