Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. In 2020, it was estimated that there would be 147,950 new cases of colorectal cancer and 53,200 deaths from the disease. Colorectal cancer is a cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. The colon is the large intestine, which is responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from food. The rectum is the last part of the large intestine, which stores stool before it is passed out of the body.

Minimally invasive colorectal surgery (MICS) is a newer approach to colorectal surgery that uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to perform the same operations as traditional open surgery. MICS can offer a number of advantages over open surgery, including less pain, a shorter recovery time, and a lower risk of complications.

The Handbook of Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery is a comprehensive guide to the latest techniques and applications in MICS. Written by a team of leading Colorectal Surgeons from India, specifically from BLK Super Speciality Hospital, the book covers all aspects of the field, from basic principles to advanced procedures.

The book is divided into four parts.

Part I: Basic Principles

This part of the book covers the basic principles of MICS. It includes chapters on anesthesia, patient positioning, and instrumentation.

Part II: Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

This part of the book covers the laparoscopic approach to colorectal surgery. It includes chapters on laparoscopic colectomy, laparoscopic rectal resection, and laparoscopic anastomosis.

Part III: Robotic Colorectal Surgery

This part of the book covers the robotic approach to colorectal surgery. It includes chapters on robotic colectomy, robotic rectal resection, and robotic anastomosis.

Part IV: Advanced Procedures

This part of the book covers advanced procedures in MICS. It includes chapters on transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS),laparoscopic pelvic exenteration, and robotic rectal cancer surgery.

The Handbook of Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery is an essential resource for any surgeon who wants to learn more about MICS.

The book is well-written and well-organized. It is packed with high-quality illustrations and videos. The authors have done an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise way.

I highly recommend The Handbook of Minimally Invasive Colorectal Surgery to any surgeon who wants to learn more about this field.
