Summary:"Colorectal Surgery: Living Pathology in the Operating Room is a unique collection of illustrated cases focusing on the pathology as much as the operative technique used to remove the diseased tissue. One hundred case reports describe unusual findings, or unusual manifestations of more common conditions, encountered by the author during his 40-plus years in practice as a colorectal surgeon. All of the drawings in this book were sketched immediately after the procedures in order to capture the details and significance of the specimen. As finished drawings, Dr. Killingback's images increase the reader's conceptual knowledge of surgical pathology and how it presents. Accompanying text, photos and diagnostic studies provide the details of patient management and shed further light on the intrinsic art and science of interpreting living pathology, making this a must-have resource for colorectal surgeons and residents as well as general surgeons and surgical pathologists."--Jacket.
