ABOUT THE BOOK

"Common Anorectal Disorders: Surgical Perspectives" by Dr. Kushal Mital, an eminent surgeon, offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of anorectal disorders for the anorectal surgeons.

In this book, an honest effort has been made to simplify the Surgeon’s understanding of the types, grades, and severity of prevalent anorectal disorders like Hemorrhoids, Anal Fissures, Anorectal Abscesses and Fistulae and the approach to correctly diagnose and manage them.

Practice Guidelines formulated by the Association of Colorectal Surgeons of India and the American Society of Colorectal Surgeons have been incorporated in concise tabulated form for easy reference.

Through 'Clinical Practice Tips,’ the book emphasizes management strategies tailored to surgical interventions, aiming to enhance the skills of anorectal surgeons in delivering optimal care. Featuring a unique “LIVING BOOK” concept, this book integrates QR codes that link to an array of surgical videos and images. This multimedia approach not only enhances learning but also ensures the book remains an evolving resource for anorectal disorder management. We hope this book proves helpful to surgeons.
