The ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery, 3rd Edition (2016), is the official textbook of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) and adheres to the principals of evidence-based practice. The updated version covers the strategic evaluation, specific approaches and detailed management techniques used by colorectal surgeons caring for patients with complex conditions. The format of the book provides both a “how-to” manual as well as an algorithm-based guide that allows readers to understand the thought process behind the proposed treatment strategy.

The distinguished editorial group for the third edition includes Drs. Scott Steele, Tracy Hull, Thomas Read, Theodore Saclarides, Anthony Senagore and Charles Whitlow. With 72 chapters, the ASCRS Textbook of Colon and Rectal Surgery is the standard text for the field and a must-have reference for residents and fellows in training, as well as practicing surgeons.
