The sixth edition of Operative Surgery of the Colon, Rectum and Anus presents the state of the art in colorectal surgery. Edited by world renowned surgeons and with expert chapters from contributors in North America, Europe, and Australasia, the book is essential reading for the experienced surgeon established in colorectal practice as well as advanced trainees in general surgery. Each procedure is described in authoritative text beautifully complemented by high quality step-by-step color artwork and intraoperative photographs, enabling the reader to approach common and rare colorectal conditions with confidence.

The book comprehensively covers surgery of the anus, rectum and colon in 87 chapters, grouped into nine sections for ease of reference (General Principles, Proctology, Stomas, Small Intestine, Colon, Rectum, Perineal Reconstruction, Rectal Prolapse and Surgery for Incontinence). The print edition is further enhanced by an accompanying VitalSource eBook, enabling the user to download and read the book offline on a personal computer or mobile device.

A masterful account of contemporary surgical practice, Operative Surgery of the Colon, Rectum and Anus will remain the definitive atlas of coloproctology for years to come.
