dc.description.abstract
The six cases which follow will illustrate
that, although surgery often does not influence the underlying process of
disease, it can, if not always cure, at least improve the quality of life of
those to whom it is offered. Indeed, in a number of situations prompt surgical
intervention is life- saving.

dc.description.abstract
The first group of three cases have been used as backgrounds against which
to consider some current information on aspects of the aetiology,
pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of adenocarcinoma of the rectum,
inflammatory bowel disease and lesions of the cerebellopontine angle
respectively. The second, shorter, group of three cases addresses more
specifically some examples of the problems in diagnosis which surgeons can be
faced with.
