About this book
First published in 1994: Colorectal Physiology reviews recent findings in fecal incontinence, which is becoming a greater concern to physicians and surgeons as our population grows older and becomes better educated. International experts in anorectal physiology and management of incontinence present their personal views and specific clinical experiences on topics such as causes, diagnostic testing, and modes of treatment. The contributors also examine theoretical and practical aspects of current opinion. This book is a useful reference for researchers, colon and rectal surgeons, physicians, and students interested in understanding and managing fecal incontinence.
