From the reviews: "This is an excellent book with concise, easy-to-read chapters covering the breadth of minimally invasive approaches to the surgical treatment of the diseases of the colon and rectum. It is a must have for practicing colorectal and general surgeons who is interested in minimally invasive surgery and will very likely prove itself to be a foundational textbook for these techniques."
