Editor’s Note:
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum marks its 50th birthday in 2008. To commemorate this occasion, we have commissioned a series of articles that focus on key areas in colon and rectal surgery. We have asked the authors not to review the accomplishments of the past half-century, nor to provide the current status of their field, but rather to try to envision its evolution over the next half-century. Thus, you as readers should expect articles that are less heavily endnoted, lighter in tone, and substantially more conjectural than our usual fare. We hope that you will find these forward-looking articles to be both thought-provoking and enjoyable. —Robert D. Madoff, M.D.
