Anal and Rectal Diseases (Explained) [Paperback]

Eli Ehrenpreis (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2003 | Series: Explained

Although rectal and perianal complaints are among the most common seen by primary care physicians, surgeons, and gastroenterologists, the wide variety of disorders associated with these complaints are, in general, poorly understood. Additionally, a variety of newer diagnostic resonance imaging, are now being employed for the evaluation of these disorders. Finally, new pharmacotherapies, including immunosuppressants and topical therapies as well as new surgical treatments, have emerged. These are described in a clear, user-friendly manner.

This review is from: Anal and Rectal Diseases (Explained) (Paperback)

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!
