Radiologie De L Intestin Gr Le Et Du C Lon

La radiologie digestive a ete pendant de nombreuses decennies Ie fleuron de la radiologie fran.

L'intestin grêle est sans doute la partie du tube digestif la plus difficile à examiner, du fait de sa structure interne et de sa physiologie. Ces caractéristiques font l'objet du premier chapitre de cet ouvrage. Le deuxième chapitre concerne les méthodes d'imagerie spécifiques à l'exploration de l'intestin grêle, les techniques, les indications et contre-indicatons. Ensuite sont étudiées les pathologies : tumeurs, atteintes infectieuses et inflammatoires, malabsorptions et entéropathies diffuses, syndromes dysimmunitaires, la pathologie d'origine vasculaire, les affections diverses. Le dernier chapitre s'intéresse à la démarche diagnostique à partir des données du transit et l'imagerie en coupes, en privilégiant l'analyse sémiologique progressive par étapes : recherche d'anomalies positionnelles, répartition topographique des lésions, études des lésions élémentaires à la fois analytique et synthétique, pour aboutir à une classification pathologique des entéropathies. Cet ouvrage, remdarquablement illustré, s'adresse aux radiologues, aux gastroentérologues et aux chirurgiens digestifs.

There is a tradition behind the current radiologic examination of the small bowel. Many of the great names in gastrointestinal radiology have established their reputations on the basis of their work in the small bowel. This is an area which is assuming ever greater importance for radiologists as its mucosal surface continues to elude the endos copist. Moreover, it is an aspect of radiology which calls for the greatest technical and interpretative skill. It is a great pleasure to welcome the English language version of this beautiful work on Radiology of the Small Intestine. English speaking physicians are frequently not as familiar with the large body of work published in French as they should be. Tant pis ! Dr. Bret and his co-workers have been pioneers in the pursuit of excellence in gastrointestinal radiology. During all the years that I have been involved in this field, I have admired their work.

Understanding of the pathology and causation of anorectal diseases is constantly increasing. This has led to changes in how treatment is cho sen. There is almost no anorectal condition for which some new thera peutic approach has not been recently tried, and several of these do not involve surgery at all. In any developing field it is important to maintain contact with change. Surgery of Anorectal Diseases does this in abundance by its very breadth and by the detailed and up-to-date manner in which it deals with each condition. Beautifully illustrated and clearly written, it is a reference text of major importance. The editors have managed to achieve uniformity of style without stif ling the individuality of the various contributing authors. The book will appeal both to surgeons and physicians and must be one of the most complete and all-encompassing works in the field. Besides the stan dard topics, which themselves are dealt with excellently, there are wel come contributions on microbiology, physiology, dermatology as well as on aspects of paediatrics and gynaecology. The reader will find in formed comment on any subject, combined with a current bibliogra phy. More could not be wished from any reference book. John Nicholls London, November 1989 Preface Proctology is no more a minor speciality. Better knowledge of colo-rec to-anal anatomy and of physio-pathology, progress in clinical, imaging and bacteriological investigations have resulted in numerous and more complex therapies.
