“The audience is novice colorectal surgeons or general surgeons doing a lot of laparoscopic colorectal surgery with an interest in developing a SILS practice. … The best aspects of the book are its systematic, short, easy‐to‐read format with a focus on technical detail and detailed pictorial presentations of key points and instruments. … This book is of high quality. Anybody interested in a SILS colorectal practice and is a novice in this regard would benefit from it.” (Irena Gribovskaja‐Rupp, Doody's Book Reviews, April,2018)
