DIGESTIVE ENDOSCOPY - Terminology with Definitions and Classifications of Diagnosis and Therapy

Fifth revised and extended edition of Terminology, Definitions and Diagnostic Criteria in Digestive Endoscopy

Editors:

Jerome D Waye, Zdenek Mařatka†, José Ramón Armengol Miró

The original author and editor Zdenek Mařatka having passed away, Jerome D. Waye, president of the World Endoscopy Organisation WEO took over to continue and update together with J. R. Armengol Miró this basic reference for digestive endoscopists.

This book is vastly updated with new pictures and definitions of gastrointestinal diseases. New sections of ERCP and EUS round out the entire hollow GI tract while both surgeons and gastroenterologists will benefit from the chapters on diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy. A sampling of the best photos of the GI tract along with the side by side meticulous line drawings by Prof. Mařatka are delightful and supplemented by modern high definition video images. This book is meant to supplement the MST as described in the web pages of the World Endoscopy Organization.

Back Cover Text

This volume combines the comprehensive WEO/OMED nomenclature including definitions of all endoscopic terms with endoscopic, ERCP and EUS pictures. The small intestine is also fully described when evaluated by push enteroscopy, capsule endoscopy or balloon techniques. The typical findings were collected by distinguished endoscopists working with advanced endoscopic techniques and the latest equipment. The book should help the endoscopist to describe all findings using standardized terminology, to interpret them properly and to make a correct diagnosis. This comprehensive book and the complementing DVD provide a quick and thorough reference to the terminology for endoscopic diagnosis and therapy. This book should be on the desk of every medical and surgical endoscopist as well as being available in every gastrointestinal endoscopy department for the use of nurses and endoscopy assistants.
