This book provides comprehensive coverage of the anatomical and physiological aspects of complex colorectal and pelvic malformations. Also described are the surgical protocols for this specialized field within pediatric surgery. The benefits of high-level collaboration between surgical services when treating these anomalies are explained, as are treatment algorithms and care of complications.
Includes evaluation and management of the newborn
Describes surgical interventions of the newborn, and when a primary repair versus a staged approach is required?
Explains?the value of laparoscopy and deciding in which cases to use it?
Looks at the importance?of a transition program to adulthood
Pediatric surgeons worldwide and the teams in which they work will benefit from this well illustrated and comprehensive work.

She participates every year in surgical brigades collaborating with nonprofit organizations Colorectal surgeons overseas and Helping hand in anorectal malformations where she helps patients with colorectal conditions around the world.
Marc A. Levitt, M.D. has focused his clinical and academic career helping patients with complex colorectal and pelvic problems. ?He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania, his medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and his surgical training at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York and the Children?s Hospital of Buffalo. He is currently director of the Colorectal Center at Nationwide Children?s Hospital, and Professor of Surgery at The Ohio State University.
