Description
The primary focus of this book is as a revision tool for general surgical trainees preparing for the FRCS examination, and in particular those declaring colorectal surgery as an area of special interest.
It has been written specifically to address the curriculum designed and approved by the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland and the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Project. The book is designed to provide easy access to relevant, up-to-date, and evidence-based information in a portable format which can be used at work or wherever time is available for study. While the handbook is not meant to replace the use of an in-depth reference text, it does aim to provide comprehensive coverage of the curriculum, including sections on related specialties and applied anatomy. Further sections address the presentation of colorectal disease in the outpatient clinic; a review of colorectal assessment tools; and detailed, practical information regarding the management of benign and malignant colonic and anorectal conditions.
The 2nd edition of the book has undergone extensive updating to reflect some of the recent innovations in surgical practice. The most significant updates have taken place in the oncology and inflammatory bowel disease chapters. Additional new sections include robotic surgery, complete mesocolic excision, capsule colonoscopy, and the role of qFIT in lower GI investigation. Management of benign colorectal disease has also been revised to reflect current approaches to rectal prolapse and haemorrhoidal disease including updated guidelines for functional bowel conditions. The authors hope that this specialist handbook will be of interest to surgical trainees at all levels, including specialist nurses, general practitioners, and allied healthcare professionals who may be involved in the management of this patient group.
