This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical appraisal of recent achievements What at the beginning of the last century started as a struggle to develop new devices for the endoluminal exploration of the digestive system has resulted in unexpected achievements in the field of advanced high-tech endoscopy such as interventional endoscopy and refinements in diagnostic resolution. This publication reviews some of the established major progress which has recently been made with regard to diagnostic and interventional endoscopy, including methods that are currently becoming part of today's clinical management. A critical evaluation of these methods is, however, mandatory as the enthusiasm for new technologies may result in their being introduced precipitately, without thorough prior evaluation in the form of adequate clinical trials: only with the help of such studies can individual applications be optimized. Last but not least, the importance of parallel instruments such as a self-administered symptom questionnaire to assess subjective manifestations and needs is stressed. This critical update on some of the latest issues in diagnostic and interventional endoscopy presents a valuable source of information for those working in clinical practice.

The guiding principle of this work is to create a resource for surgeons and gastroenterologists that extends beyond the currently available texts, and that surgeons and gastroenterologists can turn to when wanting to “brush up” on techniques, find a useful “tip or trick” for a complex patient, or simply learn a reproducible methods for advanced endoscopic procedures. This unique book highlights current knowledge, demonstrates standards of medical care, and provides clear step-by-step reproducible techniques even for the most advanced procedures. Beyond the simple application of technical knowledge the book addresses the deeper questions about the optimal “next step” in dealing with more complex patients (i.e., difficult polyps, gastrointestinal bleeding, IBD). International experts also address future challenges and innovations in lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. Finally, it focuses on specific “tips and tricks” that experts in the field have learned. The format follows that of both a “how to” manual as well as an algorithm-based guide to allow the reader to understand the thought process behind the proposed treatment strategy. Throughout the text, each author provides an ongoing narrative of his/her individual techniques along with color illustrations and diagrams to “personally” take the reader through the crucial steps of the procedure, and key points of patient care inherent to that topic. Additionally, where appropriate, links to online videos will give the reader an up-front look into technical aspects of EMR, ESD, endoscopic stent placements, CELS, as well as NOTES. The editors and contributors to this book are those with nationally and internationally recognized expertise in lower gastrointestinal endoscopic and endoluminal interventions, have taught many international courses, and have numerous peer-reviewed publications. This book will be useful to colorectal surgeons, general surgeons, and gastroenterologists who want to learn or improve their skills in lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and advanced endoscopic interventions. Furthermore, this book will be of particular interest to the surgeons-in-training, and gastroenterologist-in-training that are often called upon to manage a variety of colorectal conditions through an endoscopic approach. This would ultimately serve as an invaluable reference for any physician or surgeon with a vested interest in caring for patients with simple or complex colorectal disease.

Download or read book New Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy written by Oliviu Pascu and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-10-03 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As result of progress, endoscopy has became more complex, using more sophisticated devices and has claimed a special form. In this moment, the gastroenterologist performing endoscopy has to be an expert in macroscopic view of the lesions in the gut, with good skills for using standard endoscopes, with good experience in ultrasound (for performing endoscopic ultrasound), with pathology experience for confocal examination. It is compulsory to get experience and to have patience and attention for the follow-up of thousands of images transmitted during capsule endoscopy or to have knowledge in physics necessary for autofluorescence imaging endoscopy. Therefore, the idea of an endoscopist has changed. Examinations mentioned need a special formation, a superior level of instruction, accessible to those who have already gained enough experience in basic diagnostic endoscopy. This is the reason for what these new issues of endoscopy are presented in this book of New techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
