This is a practical guide by specialists within fields of oesophageal disease management, with detailed yet concise chapters that collectively review current thought and practice. The book has been produced in a 'How do I do it?' format that highlights contentious issues and places emphasis on the practicalities of disease management. The practical approach is complemented graphically by the use of images and technical illustrations in full colour, and each chapter concludes with a listing of key points to be learnt.
