Difficult Decisions in Colorectal Surgery

This multi-authored book contains brief chapters devoted to one or two specific questions or decisions in colon and rectal surgery that are difficult or controversial. It is a current and timely reference source for practicing surgeons, surgeons in training, and educators that describes the recommended ideal approach, rather than customary care, in selected clinical situations.

Just like the other volumes in this series, the chapters in Difficult Decisions in Colorectal Surgery adhere to a specific format.  This approach provides uniformity to the presentations, making it possible to identify useful material at a glance.
