The book consists of more than 200 clinical vignettes on subjects dealing with medical and surgical problems of the small intestinal, colorectal, and anal regions seen in a busy tertiary care practice. The cases themselves are preceded by sections on anatomy, basic surgical techniques and history, and each case depends heavily on operative photographs, radiographic images and histopathology. Moreover, there is a strong element of history of disease and technique included here, providing additional context to the generously illustrated content and vibrant case material. Written and edited by experts associated with the Cleveland Clinic, this richly illustrated case-based guide will be an excellent resource for students, residents and fellows in gastroenterology and colorectal surgery.
