Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to give the medical student and resident a broad overview of the diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus. Because of the breadth of material covered, this chapter is neither all inclusive nor in depth. For more extensive review, the reader is directed to the reference section at the back of the chapter. However, it is our hope that through this chapter the reader will gain the skeleton upon which to add and organize knowledge gained from these other sources and their experiences in training.
