Extensively updated to reflect recent innovations in surgical practice, this new edition covers new topics such as robotic surgery, complete mesocolic excision, capsule colonoscopy, and the role of qFIT in lower GI investigations. It exudes excellence. It is a relatively small paperback but chunky book and runs to just over 650 pages and is a modest size. But, it sure packs a punch and is a superb review of colorectal surgery. As the title suggests, it is aimed squarely at specialists, but it is important that this book gains a wider audience. Specialist teams in gastroenterology would enjoy reading this fact packed book full of knowledge, experience, and wisdom. Even primary care practitioners would find this book, a treasure book packed full of useful and relevant information.
