The book uses more than 500 high-definition watercolors derived from operative photographs which simulate the physician's cognitive visual experience while performing the procedures, and thus recreating both the look and "feel" of actual surgery. The accompanying text leads you step-by-step through each operation, and highlights both special tips and potential pitfalls. Thorough and usefully illustrated, this unique book will prove indispensable for all gastroenterologists and endoscopic surgeons.

New topics include:

-Endoscopy mucosal en bloc resection for early gastrointestinal cancers

-Self-expandable metallic enteral stents

-Self-expandable metallic stents for Klatskin tumor

-Treatment of intraabdominal abscesses

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Written by pioneers in the field, this book has been and remains a bestseller, an essential learning and reference tool both for expert endoscopists desiring to consolidate their knowledge in the field and for endoscopy trainees who need a clear and easily comprehensible 'how to' guide for approaching operative endoscopy. This book is very concise, giving precise, direct and schematic information...It also gives special tips, practical suggestions and advice, which capture the readers' attention. [This book] remains unique in that it combines simplicity and accessibility with the quality of information."--Digestive and Liver Disease

"Very pragmatic... Every step is recreated to make even the most complex techniques relatively simple to understand and learn...the special tips and potential pitfalls are very helpful too. Instead of long texts with technique steps, useful figures are shown with speciific explanations. Detailed anatomic figures are given." --Romanian Journal of Gastroenterology
