This manual is abstracted from and is a companion to the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons’ (ASCRS) ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Wolff BG, Fleshman JW, Beck DE, Pemberton JH, Wexner SD, eds. New York: Springer; 2007. It is yet another resource representing ASCRS’s ongoing major commitment to education. The purpose of the ASCRS Manual of Colon and Rectal Surgery is to provide a “user friendly”, pocket resource for the busy medical student, resident, private clinician, nurse practitioner, physician’s assistant and others caring for patients with colorectal surgical diseases.
