I am particularly pleased that my long desire to have my Ger• man textbook and color atlas of proctology appear in English has finally been fulfilled. Simultaneously with the writing of the 4th German edition, I worked together with W. H. C. Burgdorf to produce an English translation. I hope Anorectal and Colon Diseases will enable a greater number of readers around the world to acquaint themselves with this important multidiscipli• nary specialty.

Limburgerhof, August 2002 Ernst Stein Preface to the 4th German Edition

Since the 3rd edition of my book Proktologie was well received and soon became unavailable,I seized the opportunity to pre• pare this 4th completely revised edition. I want to thank many readers for their helpful suggestions and hope that I will receive additional ideas and comments from those who use this edition. In order to avoid producing a dinosaur of a book, I have once again tried to concentrate on relevant concepts and to present complex issues in a highly structured, easily understandable format. Because of this philosophy, I have been able to keep the book roughly the same size despite adding many new topics, pictures and references. I have devoted special attention to practice-oriented recom• mendations for diagnosis and therapy, relying heavily on the available evidence-based guidelines of various German specialty groups. In addition, the index has been expanded and I have attempted to make the cross-referencing within the text even more extensive. Finally, pertinent new references are included to make it easier for readers to obtain additional information on the topics of their choice. The book is designed for internists, family physicians, surgeons, urologists, dermatologists, gynecologists, pathologists, radiolo• gists and parasitologists, and especially for medical students, for whom it will hopefully serve as an early introduction to an often overlooked part of their education.

Lirnburgerhof, August 2002 Ernst Stein Preface to the 1st German Edition

The rapid advances in all facets of medicine, as well as our in• creased appreciation for the multidisciplinary aspects of many diseases, have unavoidably led to an expansion of the field of proctology. Proctology cannot be considered as the domain of any single , especially since so many proctologic diseases require the efforts of multiple specialists for proper diagnosis and management. Instead, proctology should be viewed as a specialty in its own right, encompassing skills and knowledge from gastrointestinal or endoscopic surgery, internal medicine, dermatology, allergy, urology, microbiology, mycology, parasi• tology, and histopathology. Many diseases which were formerly considered non-treatable can today be cured or well controlled, thanks to the develop• ment of highly effective medications, new operative techniques, and other therapeutic approaches. In order to take advantage of these advances, the diseases must be diagnosed precisely and as early as possible. When one considers the consequences of long• term symptomatic therapy of perianal skin diseases such as ex• tramammary Paget disease which can so easily mimic a derma• titis, or the deadly error of delayed diagnosis of a carcinoma of the while hemorrhoidal ointments or suppositories are prescribed, then the reasons for my plea for exact, early diag• nosis become more clear. Prompt and appropriate diagnosis and treatment of proctologic diseases is not achievable today without extensive cooperation between various specialists. Specialty pride and turf battles have no place in modern care. Each colleague should strive to pro• vide only those services which he or she can deliver expertly. Otherwise we face the danger of losing one of the most impor• tant features of our profession, the trust of our patients. The rapid, sometimes explosive advances in medicine mean that all medical publications age rapidly. The number of journal ar• ticles makes it more and more difficult to follow even a single specialty, keeping up with important diagnostic and therapeutic advances. Thus single-author authoritative textbooks appear today to be almost an anachronism, as most new textbooks have multiple editors and even more authors. I never had the illusion I could completely cover a subject as complex as proctology in a single book. Instead, my goal is to outline the possibilities and limitations of the modern evolving specialty of proctology. I have tried to present the essentials of X Preface to the 1st German Edition those diseases which traditionally belong to proctology as well as of the many disorders in which a proctologist may be called upon to help with the management. In each instance I have tried to present practice-relevant aspects of the etiology, clinical fea• tures, diagnosis, and therapy. This book is designed to be didactically sound and practice• oriented without detailed theoretical discussions. New or un• proved theories of pathogenesis, as well as untried or poorly tested therapeutic options, have been omitted. In addition, I have not attempted to describe any surgical pro• cedures in detail. The reader is referred to the numerous excel• lent textbooks and atlases of gastrointestinal and rectal surgery for more detailed information. Each section is uniformly struc• tured and followed by literature references which will help the reader further explore the topic. Proctology is a highly visual specialty; one must learn how to see and interpret not only direct visual findings but also endo• scopic images. For this reason, I have devoted special attention to providing numerous color pictures. In this way, the many different facets of a given disease can be shown, in order to make the characteristic features clearer and enable the exami• ning physician to make the correct diagnosis with greater fa• cility. My hope is that this book makes a contribution to the recogni• tion of proctology as an increasingly independent medical dis• cipline, while at the same time emphasizing that the approach to diagnosis and treatment of proctologic disorders must remain multidisciplinary. If these goals are achieved, then although this book may have only fleeting utility, my efforts will not have been in vain.
