Diseases of the Rectum and Anus (Classic Reprint)

The advances made in the domain of rectal surgery since the appearance of the first edition of this work have necessitated a complete revision and the addition of much new material. The chapters on Cancer and Colostomy, which in the first edition were written by Mr. Herbert A l Hngham, have been entirely rewritten and considerably extended in the present edition by the author. To render the volume more worthy of the title it bears, three entirely new chapters have been prepared, namely: Diseases, I njuries, and Tumors of the Coccyx :V enereal Diseases of the A no-rectal Region ;and Recto-colonic Enteroliths and Concretions. In order to more thorou.shly elucidate the text, many new and original illustrations have l)ccn added to the already large number i)rei)arcd for the first edition. These additions comprise five full-i)age colored )latcs, seventeen full-page black-and-white i)latcs. and one hundred and one smaller engravings and half-tones. It will, therefore, readily be seen that the present volume is practically a new work. Mv thanks are due to niv colleague, i of. IT enrv T. Brooks, of the New York Post-graduate Medical School, for writing the section on VF.xaniination of the Feces, for correcting my manuscript, and for seeing the i ages through tlie press: to Dr. )ertram H.
