Perineopelvic Anatomy from the Proctologist's Viewpoint

This monograph on the anatomy of the perineum and pelvic organs is an attempt to provide a good anatomic background for clinical problems in this special field. The author feels that a more thorough understanding of the anatomy will lead to more rational and better therapy. The perineum, including muscles and fascias, are described and profusely illustrated by means of diagrams and dissections. The anatomy of the anus, rectum and sigmoid is illustrated in detail by the use of histologic and gross preparations. Some attempt is made to show the relationships between these structures and other environmental viscera, such as the reproductive organs, but more stress could be placed on this relationship. The lymphatic, nerve and blood vessel supply of the pelvic structures is well presented. This volume is a valuable addition to the library of the proctologist and gynecologist.
