Product Description: There is currently an explosive growth of basic and clinical research in inflammatory bowel diseases. The extensive interest of the medical community in these diseases is largely explained by the devastating impact the illnesses have on the quality of life, their high prevalence in the community, and the fact that so many medical disciplines are involved in tackling the immensely complex studies on pathogenesis, clinical expression and treatment possibilities...read more

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.
