Transanal endoscopic microsurgical techniques have recently been proven a safe and effective way to remove tumors from the rectum. Patients with small (4 cm in diameter or less), early malignant tumors are candidates for TEM as are patients with benign tumors of any kind. Preoperative biopsies and staging are essential, and patient selection is key to achieving successful outcomes with these procedures. Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery covers indications/contraindications, equipment, operative techniques, oncologic results, and an evidence-based comparison of TEM and traditional approaches. A

The time is right for a textbook addressing transanal stapling techniques for anorectal prolapse. Both stapled haemorrhoidopexy and STARR have recently enjoyed widespread exposure and their application is spreading rapidly both through Europe and the USA. However, many areas of controversy remain and warrant comprehensive discussion. Current thinking on anorectal prolapse has evolved significantly in recent years and this needs to be updated in the literature. In addition, it is essential that the correct principles of transanal stapling are documented to aid training in techniques and to avoi
