Klaus Mönkemüller Book order

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 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.

The field of interventional endoscopy has developed and expanded at an incredible pace over the last decades, and there appear to be few limits to its application in any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The topics presented in this publication highlight some of the most current aspects, controversies and recommendations in selected areas of interventional endoscopy. Besides careful clinical examination and individualization of the endoscopic intervention based on the patient's characteristics, it is imperative to understand the biology and behavior of gastrointestinal diseases such as early neoplasias of the esophagus, stomach and colon in order to identify the best possible endoscopic therapy. A key instrument among novel developments is the double balloon enteroscope, which has opened a new access to the small bowel. Last but not least, the therapy for most pancreatic fluid collections has evolved from a primary surgical approach to a primary endoscopic one, leading to a better understanding of the pathophysiology and anatomy of these collections. This collection of state-of-the-art reviews and original contributions will be a most helpful guide for those striving to keep abreast of current developments.
