The ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery 4th ed. 2022 Edition

This book serves as an invaluable resource for surgeons and healthcare providers at all stages of their careers who treat patients with colorectal disease. The latest edition features newly written chapters, organized around the core “pillars” of colorectal disease, providing a comprehensive and current guide to the field.Chapters are structured to serve as both a practical “how-to” manual and an algorithm-based guide, enabling readers to understand the thought process behind proposed treatment strategies. The content covers a wide range of topics, from perioperative care, including endoscopy, to anorectal disease, benign conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal malignancies. There is also an emphasis on pelvic floor disorders and a “miscellaneous” section that addresses both clinical and procedural issues in and outside the operating room.Designed for easy reference and real-world applicability, this book is an essential tool for improving patient care and enhancing clinical decision-making in colorectal disease management.
