"The manual details the most state of the art, cutting edge minimally invasive techniques in Colorectal Surgery. The focus of these techniques is aimed at performing even the most complex operations through the smallest (and fewest) of incisions so that our patients can recover as quick as possible with the least amount of pain. This includes patients with benign and malignant disease, patients of all body sizes and including patients whom have had multiple prior operations" - Dr. Popowich, the Chief of Colorectal Surgery at St. Francis Hospital
