This book provides clear surgical options when the cases are not “routine”.  It follows both a “how to” manual as well as an algorithm-based guide to allow the reader to understand the thought process behind the proposed treatment strategy. In each chapter, international experts address how to avoid being in tough surgical situations through preoperative planning, how to better deal with commonly encountered intra-operative findings, how to deal with difficult laparoscopic, open, endoscopic, and anorectal cases, and how to avoid medico-legal issues.

Colorectal Surgery Consultation is simple and succinct and provides pragmatic advice and reproducible techniques that can be readily implemented by surgeons of varying experience to successfully treat complex colorectal problems through endoscopic and endoluminal approaches that may make the difference in patient outcomes.

• Medico-legal issues
• difficult operative situations
• intra-operative findings
• Colonic Inflammation
• Presacral bleeding
• Intra-abdominal malignancies

“This book is clearly written for practicing colorectal surgeons. … This is a nice book that will provide readers with valuable information on complex situations that they may encounter and how to safely work themselves out of danger.” (Peter Nau, Doody's Book Reviews, August 16, 2019)
