Therapeutic Endoscopy And Radiology Of The Gut

This book, the proceedings of Falk Symposium 124, `Medical Imaging in Gastroenterology and Hepatology' (Progress in Gastroenterology and Hepatology Part I), held in Hannover, Germany, on September 28-29, 2001, aims to demonstrate the newest developments in the various imaging techniques for diagnosis and therapy, coupled with overviews by renowned international experts. In this book, up-to-date technologies in medical imaging and image documentation as well as the most modern transmission techniques should bridge the gap between futuristic research and everyday clinical practice.

The volumes in The Requisites in Gastroenterology series clearly and succinctly present the core knowledge that is required for certification and recertification. They also serve as convenient references for clinical practice. In this full-color volume, established experts cover all of today's essential information on endoscopy and gastrointestinal radiology. They offer you practice-proven guidance on differential diagnosis, pitfalls, evidence-based management approaches, and much more. Contents lists at the beginning of each chapter summarize the material that follows. And, helpful illustrations, boxes, and tables help you to grasp important concepts at a glance. Book jacket.

This issue presents a concise clinical overview on the most current knowledge on advanced imaging modalities. Dr. Ananadasabapathy has secured internationally recognized authors to write articles on endomicoscopy, molecular imagaing, optical coherence tomography, and chromoendoscopy. Articles are also devoted to imaging the biliary tree and red flag technologies in gastric neoplasia.

An illustrated guide to the practice of therapeutic endoscopy. International experts have contributed superbly illustrated chapters which reflect the international coverage of endoscopy. Illustrated with colour line illustrations and photographs this practical book sets out the steps involved in different endoscopic procedures and draws attention to the tricks and traps, complications and results that can ensue. Superbly illustrated in four colour Step by step guide to all therapeutic endoscopic procedures Reflects worldwide practice Edited by four of the worlds leading endoscopists Very clinical scope Includes complications and how to avoid them New chapter on mucosal resection New chapter on endosonographically guided fine needle aspiration Over 100 new line illustrations in two colour Updating of all existing chapters

The aim of this book is to present a concise yet instructive overview of the most common interventional and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. Although there exists a large amount of literature dealing with therapeutic endoscopy, this publication stands out for several reasons: To begin with, it has been written by a highly selected group of international experts who contribute their own tried and tested tips and tricks. The various techniques are described in a homogeneous fashion, making it easy for the endoscopist to single out the important aspects for his or her own practice. Moreover, the data presented follows evidence-based guidelines, but does not inundate the reader with confusing facts and numbers. Finally, the book is illustrated like an atlas, featuring real-life pictures enhanced by explanatory drawings and algorithms. This textbook is directed at residents, fellows, gastroenterologists and surgeons interested in therapeutic endoscopy. As the majority of the procedures described are classics that have stood the test of time, it will be a useful companion for many years to come.

With the rapid development of modern medical technology, endoscopic technology has also achieved unprecedented development. Its fields cover examination, treatment, surgery, and even molecular imaging diagnosis. Endoscopy technology brings a minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment experience to patients. Invasive treatment and examination of digestive surgery has changed from large incisions to several Trocar holes, from surgery to endoscopic treatment, and from laparotomy to endoscopy or laparoscopy, which has changed the diagnosis treatment and management of digestive surgery, enhanced the recovery after surgery, and benefited the patients needing to undergo surgical procedures. It is for this reason that we plan to introduce the development of endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery in digestive surgery and enhanced rehabilitation medicine.
