Publisher's Synopsis
New surgical techniques for the treatment of anal incontinence have given the increasing number of afflicted patients hope for a cure. Colorectal surgeons and general surgeons are performing more operations. This atlas-style guide is intended for the use of those surgeons and doctors. It describes each operation in technical detail and the accompanying two-colour illustrations indicate the essential points of each procedure. The authors discuss the indications for surgical treatment, its application to the individual patient and post-operative care.
