Publisher's Synopsis
All the major colorectal diseases such as constipation, haemorrhoids and inflammatory bowel disease are covered in this text for non–specialists. It takes the reader from signs and symptoms, initial diagnoses, management, to guiding GPs in their decisions whether to refer for specialist treatment.
Revised throughout, this edition includes new material on faecal incontinence, colorectal neoplasma, tropical colonic diseases, and colorectal diseases in the elderly. It also features many new illustrations.
