Michael Levitt is a colorectal surgeon with a particular interest in the day-to-day workings of the human bowel. In this talk, he will describe the essential determinants of a good bowel habit and how that can go awry. And he will outline his approach to the assessment and treatment of people who experience a bowel that is anything but happy.
