Gastrointestinal endoscopy is now mainstream and the focus is nowchanging from developing new techniques to enhancing the efficiencyand quality of fundamental techniques. There are three elements tothis agenda: initial training, continuous quality improvement andpatient empowerment. For the first time, the book is accompanied by two CD-ROMs -featuring video and animation of how to perform the techniques. Thefirst CD-ROM covers the upper GI tract and consists of twosections: (1) the background to instruments and how to get set up,and (2) how to perform diagnostic techniques. The second CD-ROMcovers diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in colonoscopy. Cotton and Williams' book has evolved with each new edition toreflect developments in the field of endoscopy over the last 20years. This fifth edition draws on the vast experience of the authorsand heralds current changes in both endoscopy and publishing. The emerging 'back to basics' attitude of endoscopy opinionformers with regard to the teaching of endoscopy has resulted in amore focused table of contents specifically targeted at newcomersto this specialty.
