spectacular...!:
This book is really a collection of valuable information.
Thanks to Marvin L Corman.
Thorough, clear & concise:
Bravo! Excellence in every aspect, Dr. Corman's thorough coverage and clarity transcends all other publications covering colorectal surgical procedures. Bravo, also, to illustrator L. Barnes. Beautiful illustrations! (Never thought the day would come when I'd refer to anything colorectal as 'beautiful'!)
excellent again:
Newly expanded with greater emphasis on techniques and very current references (1997). Dr. Corman review the current data in a concise fashion and then adds his opinion clearly labeled as such.
