Atlas of Anorectal Anomalies: Diagnostic and Operative Perspectives

This volume provides an in-depth analysis of abnormal pelvic anatomy in  various forms of anorectal anomalies, often with multiple associations.   The anatomy of the pelvis is one of the most complex in the body, and  anatomists have provided detailed descriptions of normal anatomy based  on cadaver dissections. However, congenital abnormalities present a  spectrum of deviations from normal, which can be difficult to perceive  with surgical practice alone. The advent of cross-sectional imaging has  fortunately provided a powerful tool, allowing clinicians to study these  anomalies in depth and on multiple planes.

This volume will be  an essential tool to better understand this spectrum of alterations in a  critical region of the body, thus helping pediatric surgeons make the  correct planning for a solid reconstruction of the abnormality.
