About this book

Anal and Rectal Diseases: A Concise Manual provides a succinct reference on the subject for clinicians, including primary care physicians, gastroenterologists, general surgeons, physician's assistants and nurse practitioners. Presented in a consistent structural style that provides both a general summary of individual topics within the field along with additional details to assist those with some background knowledge in the subject area, this handy volume provides information related to the field of anorectal disease in a format that is easily accessible for rapid acquisition of knowledge. Each topic is outlined in a multidisciplinary fashion with the medical, surgical, and pathological aspects clearly detailed in each section. Each section clearly describes the condition with up-to-date management guidelines and precious clinical pearls. The volume features high quality illustrations in the form of elegant hand drawn figures, tables, photographs of physical findings, endoscopic finds and radiographs. The clinical photographs and x-rays will be of great value to gastroenterologists whose specialty is not coloproctology. Chapters on computerized tomographic colography (virtual colonoscopy) and others cover the newer technologies employed for diagnostic purposes in these diseases. Anal and Rectal Diseases: A Concise Manual provides clinicians with a tool for rapid consultation for direct patient care and management.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This is a comprehensive book on the types of anal and rectal diseases primary care practitioners could expect to diagnose among their patients. … Although it is focused on primary care providers, the book is also useful for surgical residents in training to help them understand the full armamentarium of treatments for these illnesses. … This is one of the best books on the subject of anal and rectal diseases. … This is a very worthwhile addition to one’s personal medical library.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2012)

“It is this straightforward style that aids in reaching this intended audience to provide them insight into these disorders and their treatment. It is for the general practitioner and those beginning their training and practice in anorectal or general surgery that this book is strongly recommended. ... This book is a valuable resource for family practitioners, internists, nurses, medical students, and trainees in nonsurgical specialties. It provides a broad overview of numerous facets of anorectal disease that may be encountered by primary care practitioners.” (Sowsan Rasheid, Gastroenterology, Vol. 143 (4), October, 2012)
