Overview

In recent years, important technological innovations have made it possible to evaluate the small bowel endoscopically. Thus, traditional diagnostic methods such as imaging techniques are flanked by enteroscopy. The aim of this book is to present the results of enteroscopy as a method to diagnose small bowel disease, correlating it to the other investigative methods and above all to clinical findings. The book is a unique selected collection of images deriving from the results of documented experience and also including a brief clinical presentation, tables and diagrams of diagnostic algorithms. Renowned and accredited experts in gastroenterology, enteroscopy and researchers in the sector of small bowel disease have contributed to this volume.
