From the reviews:"Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, deals with the two diseases in its title, and there is an emphasis on surgery throughout the book … . This book reflects the author’s diagnostic and therapeutic expertise. Discussions are up to date, and current topics are well referenced. … The strength of the book is surgical technique and outcome, and for this reason I recommend it for surgeons in training and in clinical practice … ."
