Download or read book Interventional and Therapeutic Gastrointestinal Endoscopy written by Klaus Mönkemüller and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2020-09-19 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a new, multi- and interdisciplinary approach to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett’s esophagus that reflects the latest advances in understanding of the disease. The role of each of the available diagnostic techniques, including endoscopy, histopathology, esophageal manometry, reflux monitoring, and EndoFLIP assessment, is carefully explained. The use of endoscopy for the purposes of mucosal ablation (radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation) and mucosal resection is described, and all aspects of anti-reflux surgery are covered, with detailed explanation of indications and techniques for standard fundoplication, endoscopic fundoplication, and surgical procedures using the LINX system and the EndoStim device. To assist the reader further, a novel interdisciplinary algorithm is presented for GERD diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches (including endoscopic and surgical resection and chemoradiation) are also presented for esophageal cancer and cancer palliation. A key feature of the book is its recognition of the contribution of different specialties in the management of GERD, and it will accordingly appeal to a wide range of practitioners.

Download or read book Optimizing Endoscopic Therapy for Early Barrett s Neoplasia written by Hannah Tessi Künzli and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Patients with a Barrett's esophagus (BE) have an increased risk for the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). When EAC is detected in an early stage, endoscopic treatment may be suitable, precluding these patients from invasive surgery. Yet, endoscopic treatment is only curative if the risk for lymph node metastases lies below the mortality risk of esophagectomy. This thesis shows that in a subgroup of patients with early EAC endoscopic treatment may be justified. Furthermore, this thesis describes a new treatment algorithm for patients who do need to undergo surgery, including radical endoscopic resection of the esophageal tumor followed by thoracolaparoscopic lymphadenectomy without concomitant esophagectomy. A preclinical study shows that lymphadenectomy without esophagectomy is feasible and safe on the short-term. Another study concluded that sentinel node navigation surgery may be a valuable tool limiting the extent of lymphadenectomy in early EAC patients. The second part of the thesis concentrated on the treatment of flat BE, preventing the occurrence of EAC. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is highly effective in eradicating flat BE. In this thesis we evaluated if the ablation regimen for focal RFA treatment could be simplified without affecting efficacy or safety. Results show that a simplified ablation regimen, omitting the cleaning step, is non-inferior to the standard regimen in terms of efficacy. Cryoablation, an evolving ablation technique, might be an alternative to RFA. This thesis shows that cryoablation during 10 seconds of small BE areas is highly effective in the eradication of small, flat BE areas."--Samenvatting auteur.
