Overview

&Recommended by Brandon-Hill. The fourth edition of this massive two-volume textbook features the addition of chapters on liver diseases; the remaining chapters have been revised and about a third have been re-written by new authors. The text is divided into four major areas: basic mechanisms of normal and abnormal function, approaches to common problems, diseases, and diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Each of the 162 chapters is organized in an outline form, with numerous headings, and a lengthy list of references. There are several chapters each on topics that include motility; nutrition; and diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, and abdominal cavity. Topics of individual chapters include parasitic diseases, intestinal ischemia, sedation, clinical decision making, enteroscopy, and angiography. The contributors practice mainly in the US, however, some are in Australia, the UK, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Canada. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Outstanding as an inclusive gastroenterology textbook. ... I have no trouble in strongly recommending this text for every medical library and for every gastroenterology training program." (Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, January 2010)

Editorial Reviews

This is an encyclopedic textbook of gastroenterology. This book is designed to provide a practical approach to problems in gastroenterology, to be an encyclopedic reference, and to track the scientific basis of gastroenterology. These objectives are worthy, and the book meets them. This book is written for gastroenterologists, primarily surgeons, internists, and residents-in-training, and also students and fellows. According to the authors, they would extend the intended audience to include nurses as well. The authors are best in their areas. This two-volume book contains high quality, black-and-white and color illustrations. The references are presented well, and the index and table of contents are easy to use. This textbook meets its objectives, and it is a formidable competitor in a field with other outstanding textbooks, both American and European. It is an excellent choice for those in need of a textbook that has both a practical approach as well as an in-depth scientific basis.

Daniel R. Ganger

Individual chapters, 143 in all, by multiple authors or groups of authors, discuss basic mechanics of normal and abnormal gastrointestinal function (components, motility, secretion and absorption, and nutrition, among other aspects), approaches to common gastrointestinal problems, gastrointestinal diseases (of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, pancreas, gallbladder and biliary tree, abdominal cavity, and others), and diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in gastroenterology.
