Summary:

Ginsberg (gastroenterology, U. of Pennsylvania) et al. compile 58 chapters by an international group of gastroenterologists who detail aspects of general and advanced endoscopy for gastroenterology clinicians and fellows. They cover equipment and general principles, including the history of the procedure and how endoscopes, devices, and units function; the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of benign and malignant luminal gastrointestinal disorders, including strictures, enteral access, ingested foreign bodies, gastroesophageal reflux, and inflammatory, infectious, and functional disorders; pancreaticobiliary disorders and advanced techniques in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for diagnosis and management; and emerging endoscopy, including management of post-bariatric complications, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, and electronically enhanced endoscopy imaging. The full text, images, many diagnostic and therapeutic procedure videos, and all references are online. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
