The book covers key topics in the anatomy and physiology of the colon, rectum and anus and the diagnosis of colorectal/anal diseases and disorders. It thus forms a sound basis for further volumes in the series that will focus on the treatment of more specific clinical conditions. The subjects addressed in the volume are crucial to effective patient management and the book highlights the fact that adequate diagnostic assessment of a given disease is significantly related to the pathophysiologic interpretation of the pathologic process. The purpose of the volume is to provide readers with up-to-date knowledge on colorectal and anal anatomy and physiology, particularly from a treatment perspective and to describe the methodology to be employed in choosing the best diagnostic work-up in coloproctology.Table of ContentsA Surgeon for the Pelvic Floor: Dream or Reality?Surgical Anatomy of the Colon, Rectum, and AnusTopographic Anatomy of the Colon and Rectum: Tips and Tricks in Laparoscopic and Robotic SurgeryTopographic Anatomy in Proctologic SurgeryPhysiology of the ColonPhysiology of the Rectum and AnusFactors Affecting the Intestinal PhysiologyFactors Affecting Defecation and Anal ContinenceAnal Surgery: Organ and Function PreservationPatient’s History Data Collection in ColoproctologyVisiting a Coloproctology Patient: Rules and SuggestionsSigns and Symptoms in Coloproctology: Data Collection and ScoresDiagnosis in Coloproctology: From the General Practitioner to the Tertiary Referral CenterInstruments for the In-Office DiagnosisColonic and Rectal EndoscopyColonic and Rectal EndosonographyRadiologic Imaging of Colo-Recto-Anal Dysfunctions: Procedures and IndicationsUltrasound of the Colon and Rectum: Procedures and IndicationsAnorectal ManometryElectrophysiological Study of the Pelvic FloorIntegration of Diagnostics in Proctology: Assessment, Choice of Treatment, and Evaluation of ResultsPathologic Evaluation of Colo-Recto-Anal Samples: Procedures and Clinical SignificanceSpecifics and Pitfalls in Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesDiagnostic Algorithm for Constipation and Obstructed Defecation
