Abstract

A deep understanding of anatomy is mandatory for proper care of patients whether it is for diagnosing pathology, determining treatment options, or having meaningful discussions with other providers. In this chapter, we review the anatomy and embryology of the anal canal, pelvic floor, colon, and rectum. Special emphasis is placed on clinically meaningful concepts for the practicing surgeon.
