Ambulatory Colorectal Surgery

The Editors are to be congratulated on their collaborative effort to provide colon and rectal surgeons and their trainees with an excellent resource for the management of anorectal and outpatient problems in colon and rectal diseases. The table of contents is comprehensive and contemporary. The chapters have been authored by young colon and rectal surgeons with experienced senior surgeons as coauthors in certain circumstances. The approach to each topic is well organized with adequate historical comment to provide background to modern therapy. This is a rapidly changing field and the authors have provided evidence for the use of each physiologic test, imagining technique, and therapeutic maneuver (medical or surgical). This is a concise, detailed, and practical treatise, which will be easily used as a reference in the clinic,

physiology lab, and outpatient operating
