Description
Endoscopy began as a diagnostic tool with the endoscope being used to clearly visualise lesions (ulcers, cancers etc.) of the gut wall. Gradually its use has been extended to include interventional work and the endoscopy is now used not only by Gastroenterologists, but also by General Surgeons and Interventional Radiologists. This is a practical "how-to-do-it" book edited by world authorities in this field. The reader is provided with an abundance of linr, black and white and colour illustrations which are integrated with the text to provide an up-to-date, well-balanced book. The approach taken to the field has been subject-based (rather than organ-based) and in this way the book should provide the user with a problem-oriented guide to patient management.
