Overview

This volume provides a concise, yet comprehensive, state-of-the art overview of GI endoscopic emergencies. Although the emphasis is on endoscopic management, peri-procedural considerations, adjunctive medical therapy, and clinical approaches to commonly encountered GI emergencies are discussed in detail. This sets the stage for the in-depth review of current as well as innovative devices and techniques for endotherapy in GI emergencies. Technical aspects of endoscopic procedures are emphasized and supplemented by online video clips to enhance the educational experience. Written by experts in the field, GI Endoscopic Emergencies serves as a valuable resource for practitioners who deal with GI emergencies.

Reviews

Not only does this book cover gastrointestinal emergencies and how to treat them endoscopically, it also addresses preprocedure considerations, and risks, as well as guidelines and the data behind the current recommendations. ... The intended audience is gastrointestinal professionals. It also could be useful for other medical professionals because it covers the basics and the proper workup prior to a referral to a gastroenterologist. ... This is an excellent book. (Johnny Cheng, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2016)
