Surgery of the Anus, Rectum and Colon, 2 Volume Set

This is the most comprehensive colorectal reference book available, edited and written by two renowned experts in the field. No other book currently offers the same depth of information on surgery of the anus, rectum and colon. In its previous two editions, Surgery of the Colon, Rectum and Anus established itself firmly as the gold standard definitive resource in the field. Critically acclaimed as a masterwork, John Goligher’s reference work of the same name finally has a worthy successor. Now, for the third edition, Michael Keighley and Norman Williams have continued the huge task of revising and updating their speciality defining work, to reflect the substantial changes in colorectal surgery which have occurred since the publication of the first edition.

Reviews

"For colon and rectum surgeons, it will become a classic surpassing in depth, breadth, and style all other currently available textbooks. Although the facts may slowly change with the advance of science, the wisdom and experience captured here will keep me returning to this book for counsel for many years to come." NEJM*

“Inevitably such a large text will be perceived as a reference book, but realistically these volumes are a must for every practicing coloproctologist.” British Journal of Surgery*
