Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Epidemiological trends suggest an initial rise in the incidence of UC, followed by Crohn’s disease (CD), in areas where IBD is emerging. As understanding of aspects of the disease is evolving, this book covers new perspectives on the etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of UC. Genetic predisposition, along with gut dysbiosis and environmental factors, triggers the altered gut permeability and dysregulated immune activation that leads to the development of UC, which can manifest both intestinally and extra-intestinally. Platelets play a significant role in augmenting inflammation. Histological examination is important for accurate diagnosis and for distinguishing mimics. Histological remission is an emerging treatment target strategy in UC. Novel treatments include dietary manipulation with anti-inflammatory dietary components like fermented rice bran. A number of challenges need to be addressed in treating special populations like children and pregnant women. Finally, interventional endoscopy is playing an emerging role in the management of colitis-associated neoplasia and postoperative complications and acting as a bridge between surgery and medical therapy. Ulcerative Colitis - Etiology, Diagnosis, Diet, Special Populations, and the Role of Interventional Endoscopy aims to act as a ready reference for the clinician. It provides indispensable updates on several relevant issues in the diagnosis and management of ulcerative colitis and has benefited from the collaboration of leading experts in various aspects of the disease. It aims to facilitate decision-making by gastroenterologists, IBD specialists, interventional endoscopists, dieticians, pathologists, surgeons, and pediatricians treating UC patients.

This book conjoins the latest advances on the use of endoscopy to diagnose, monitor, and treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Chapters include the historical use of rigid sigmoidoscopy, non-interventional imaging procedures, and the correlation of pathology and endoscopic visualization. This is the first book to include individual chapters in gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, and IBD texts, the preeminent role of endoscopic imaging in the management of chronic ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. It also includes chapters on capsule endoscopy and balloon and overtube-assisted enteroscopy to define the presence and activity of Crohn's enteritis and additional chapters defining the use of random biopsies versus chromoendoscopy, and computer enhanced imaging to define possible dysplasia development. The book also includes access to online videos, making it the ultimate verbal and visual tool for all medical professionals interested in the advances in the field over the last several decades. Endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a concise text that is of great value to practicing endoscopists, gastroenterologists, general or colorectal surgeons, physicians in training, and all medical professionals caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Atlas of Endoscopy Imaging in Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a complete reference providing all aspects of endoscopy imaging in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Building on the etiology and pathogenesis of IBD and taking into account the wide range of clinical presentations and phenotypes that reflect a long list of endoscopic features, this book systematically and exclusively presents all IBD-related endoscopy imaging for optimal understanding, diagnosis and management. Provides systemic classification and characterization of endoscopy imaging in the surgically altered bowel and in healthy and diseased IBD patients Incorporates state-of-the-art research in the area of endoscopy imaging in CD and UC, from current literature and the vast experience of a panel of national and international experts Covers all possible aspects related to endoscopic imaging in Inflammatory bowel disease

Benign and malignant colorectal diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases, continue to increase in both incidence and prevalence and require medical, and in some, endoscopic, or surgical treatment. Today's clinicians must be prepared to diagnose and manage the frequent endoscopic or surgical procedure-associated complications associated with these procedures. Corrective Endoscopy and Surgery in Inflammatory Bowel and Colorectal Diseases: Advanced Management of Complications provides authoritative, step-by-step guidance on the complex complications encountered by gastroenterologists, inflammatory bowel disease specialists, endoscopists, general surgeons, gastrointestinal surgeons, and colorectal surgeons, offering real-world principles and techniques of corrective endoscopy or corrective surgery in one convenient volume. Provides expert guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of commonly encountered post-endoscopic or surgical procedure-associated complications, including balloon dilation and electroincision of strictures, resection and anastomosis, strictureplasty, and reconstruction procedures performed for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, or diverticular disease. Brings together multidisciplinary techniques and modalities for the management of these complex procedure-associated complications. Contains dozens of practical, up-to-date chapters covering the current literature; the authors' vast personal experience in principles, techniques, instruments, and devices; and future implications. Provides clinical features of procedure-associated complications, which require scientific investigation on their etiology and pathogenesis. Features nearly 200 high-quality illustrations and procedural videos that provide essential visual guidance. A unique, must-have resource for gastroenterologists, GI endoscopists, general surgeons, colorectal surgeons, GI and colorectal fellows, IBD fellows, and advanced endoscopy fellows. An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.

A thorough review of the operative techniques as well as the indications, pitfalls, strategies and timing, complications, and long term results involved in the surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease. As IBD is characterised by a high incidence of re-operations and complications, independent sections of the text are devoted entirely to surgical treatment of specific complications and the management of recurrent diseases. Exquisitely illustrated with over 200 line drawings, this book contains important information on medical treatment, endoscopic evaluation, pathology, radiology, and aetiology.
