Book Description
Complex Anorectal Disorders: Investigation and Management draws together preclinical assessment and clinical recommendations for complex anorectal disorders to create an integrated book. This practical guide looks at complex pathophysiologic conditions; pediatric patients; new procedures after artificial sphincter implantation; basic and complex psychological assessment; new radiologic approaches to patients with complex problems; and the post-operative patient with functional disorders. Looking at complex patient management, the first part discusses unique features such as impedance planimetry, and the urologists’ and gynecologists’ role. New areas include 3-D ultrasound, transperineal ultrasonography and dynamic MRI, which are not included in any available texts on anorectal disorders. The second part is clinical, taking an algorithmic approach to problematic areas such as poor function in the postoperative patient following the construction of a neorectal reservoir, or following artificial sphincter implantation. Much of this information is simply not available in any current texts. Other topics include pediatric coloproctology, psychological assessment of patients with complex proctological disorders and quality of life issues. The book also takes an algorithm approach for pharmacological and conservative therapies and surgical strategies based on pre- and post-operative measurements. Healthcare professionals with an interest in fecal incontinence – colorectal trainees, colorectal nurse specialists, those involved in coloproctology imaging, will find this a useful reference manual. The book will also assist the clinical physiologist and biofeedback technologist, highlighting standardized treatments and their follow-up in these complex patients, such as those in the fields of neuromodulation. The specialties of proctology, gynecology and urology are brought together in one text.
