The updated and expanded Second edition of the Atlas of Esophageal Diseases provides an 11-chapter visual panorama of the esophagus in both health and disease. More than 600 detailed images, including many hand-drawn illustrations, cover all aspects of the esophagus. The Atlas opens with a chapter on esophageal anatomy and physiology, and takes the reader through an exploration of gastroesophageal reflux disease, pH-monitoring, and finally, surgery of the esophagus.
The accompanying disc contains the complete text and illustrations of the book in fully searchable PDF files.
This Atlas focuses on surgical techniques used to treat the entire spectrum of esophageal diseases. Surgical “pearls” and tips on how to select and perform the correct operation are included and based both on evidence-based data and the experience of the Editors. Step-by-step descriptions of operative and endoscopic procedures in esophageal surgery are provided. Each chapter describes the current indications, perioperative management strategies, and a detailed operative approach with relevant technical considerations. The description of approaches and surgical techniques used in esophageal surgery are outlined in an easily understandable manner for the specific target audience. This book is written by world-class internationally renowned esophageal surgeons and gastroenterologists
While reflux disease, achalasia, esophageal spasm, gastroparesis and IBS include some of the most common disorders in all disease categories, the understanding of their pathophysiology has remained elusive. The field of clinical gastrointestinal motility has for decades relied on the measurement of intestinal movements for diagnosis and management of these difficult and enigmatic disorders of gut function. Although computers have increased the speed with which we can measure the movements of the gut, the devices to measure this movement have not changed in over 20 years. In the last 2 years, a new technologic breakthrough has taken place in the measurement of intestinal movement. The technology is called high resolution manometry. Rather than the old 4 and 8 channels systems of measuring pressure, high resolution employs 36 closely spaced solid state pressure transducers. By using this technology, the resolution of gut motor activity is incredible. This allows for better ways of viewing motility using color as pressure. This technology makes for beautiful images of gut motility that we have never seen before. We have made diagnoses that would never have been appreciated with the old technology. High resolution manometry is taking over conventional manometry worldwide and represents a dramatic leap in a long time stagnant area.
* Esophageal diseases are among the most commonly seen disorders in the practice of internists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons around the world. * This atlas provides clinically relevant information on the anatomy, physiology, and disease of the esophagus. * It also features a detailed review of esophageal testing including commonly employed methods such as endoscopy, barium testing, manometry, and pH monitoring, as well as newer modalities such as endocopic ultrasoundm impedance and Braco pH testing. * Both the diagnosis and treatment of common and uncommon manifestations of esophageal disorders are covered in-depth, with each disorder illustrated by representative images-in full color-supported by succinct explanatory text. * For gastroenterologists, internal medicine physicians, and gerenal physicians, in practice and in training.
