Pelvic Floor Disorders for the Colorectal Surgeon

Aimed at consultant colorectal surgeons and those in training who wish to expand their practice into pelvic floor pathology- a complex and developing area of surgery- Pelvic Floor Disorders for the Colorectal Surgeon provides a modern, thought-provoking approach to pelvic floor disorders written by emerging young leaders in the field. These conditions are of high importance and interest to colorectal surgeons, but also gynaecologists, gastroenterologists and general gastrointestinal surgeons. The layout of the text book is in 3 sections. The first provides an organizational and diagnostic approach to pelvic floor problems that is conceptual in scope, the second details the patho-anatomical and physiological entities that this diagnostic approach will bring to light and describes their management, while the third is more technical, covering key new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and their results. The textbook aims to encourage the reader to critically analyze some of their own cherished views, and those more widely established, on colorectal pelvic floor practice. Written by the Southern Pelvic Floor Group, a multidisciplinary group with a major interest in pelvic floor disorders Reflects rapid advances being made in the field and emerging new data Each chapter is problem based, highly practical and fully illustrated, with images and algorithms showing management of these problems Ian Lindsey , Consultant Colorectal Surgeon, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK, Karen Nugent , Senior Lecturer, Honorary Consultant Surgeon, Southampton General Hospital, UK, and Tony Dixon , Consultant Surgeon, North Bristol NHS Trust, UK Contributors: Oleh Babyak, Section of Radiology, St. Elisabeth Hospital, Vienna, Austria Andrew Baranowski, NHNN, University College London Hospitals Foundation Trust, UK Brigitta Boller, Section of Radiology, St. Elisabeth Hospital, Vienna, Austria Steven Brown, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, UK Will Chambers, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, UK Rowan Collinson, Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand Christopher Cunningham, Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals, UK Volodymyr Denysenko, Section of Radiology, St. Elisabeth Hospital, Vienna, Austria Anthony Dixon, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, UK Martijn Gosselink, Department of Surgery, Maastad Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands Christopher Harmston, Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust.
