Rectal-Diseases Books

This book is really a collection of valuable information.
Thanks to Marvin L Corman.

Bravo! Excellence in every aspect, Dr. Corman's thorough coverage and clarity transcends all other publications covering colorectal surgical procedures. Bravo, also, to illustrator L. Barnes. Beautiful illustrations! (Never thought the day would come when I'd refer to anything colorectal as 'beautiful'!)

Newly expanded with greater emphasis on techniques and very current references (1997). Dr. Corman review the current data in a concise fashion and then adds his opinion clearly labeled as such.

Prfoessor Killoran's scholarship is well-respected, thorough and readable. In this text she surveys the reception of Wharton's work by its critics. Neither a feminist, a Marxist, a post-structuralist or a Freudian, Killoran has no axe to grind but rather interprets the works of Wharton from a multi-faceted close-reading approach and looks at the historical record of reception and review with an eye to giving her reader meaningful insight into the author's life and times. Useful to the undergraduate, indispensible to the specialist.

As with her earlier deft readings, Killoran has done it again, this time with THE CRITICAL RECEPTION OF EDITH WHARTON. We learn a great deal about the author, including what her contemporaries thought of her, and how critics have viewed her throughout the decades since her early publications. Killoran does not shy away from controversial ground, showing the illogic of those who see Wharton as a disciple of Henry James, and, even more intriguing, takes up the "feminist takeover of Edith Wharton". Killoran is not intemperate: with an exhaustive and respectful view of feminist scholarship, Killoran shows that there are indeed other views, ones that may be more fruitful for a deep understanding of the author's genius. Of particular interest is Killoran's unconventional reading of ETHAN FROME, and her detail of all the contradictory things that critics have had to say over the years.

Whether you agree or disagree with Killoran, you will come away with a clear and detailed view of Wharton's standing among various critics, her shifting place in the American literary canon, and a deep appreciation for the many reasons this outstanding writer has appealed and continues to appeal to her readership. Bravo, Professor Killoran.

Dr Phillip takes the reader on an anatomical journey, exploring all the ups, downs, rights and wrongs of surgery for the colon, rectum, and of course... the anus. This journey is not without it's share of danger, however Dr Phillip always reveals the perfect solution to the reader. I have no doubt that this story will continue to shock, intrigue, and amuse readers for years to come. I highly recommend this book, it is a fascinating read, and it contains frequent use of the word rectum!

Soon to be updated, this is an excellent, well balanced text, in which all chapters are written by the senior authors, both of whom are experienced and expert clinicians

Dr. Ehrenpreis has written an excellent manual with brief explanations of most anal and rectal diseases. Supplemented by color photos and clear drawings it gives brief descriptions of diseases, clinical procedures, treatments, and other useful information. While not intended for laypersons, the writing is clear enough that laypersons can understand these conditions. Most family doctors should have a copy of this manual if for no other reason than to provide information to their patients on diseases and diagnostic procedures they might need! It would also make an excellent addition to most libraries which often lack good information on these conditions. I highly recommend it!

It is like an intimate phone book of those difficult people we all have to deal with. I was just a matter of time before I was out at the hardware store and rigged up a wonderful mirror as described in the wonderful medical text "House of God." This book opens your eyes to your fellow human in a way not unlike crossing of the Rubicon.

A true rosebud of a book
: )

For anybody who wants to read a great book that includes everything about pelvic floor disorders, you will find inside the book .I recommend this book .

As a parent of two children with Hirschsprung's Disease, this book has been extremely informational. It covers all aspects of the disease from developement to surgeries/treatments and future complications.

Although it is a little tough on the pocket book, this book is one of the best investments we have ever made. Well worth it for any physician or parent wanting to learn more about Hirschsprung's Disease.

this is the book to read so that you can notice what colon is and what colon is not.

Very practical textbook reviewing all the scope of coloproctology for every day practice.

a good update, but no comparison to Shackelford's original 3 volume masterpiece collection of the current, outdated and arcane, even epocryphal.
