A reference text and atlas for practicing gastroenterologists, surgeons, and radiologists, as well as for students of these disciplines. It presents the current status of ERCP in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with biliary and pancreatic disease, including consideration of patient selection, pathophysiology, procedural technique, complications, radiographic interpretation, and differential diagnosis of both common and uncommon diseases. The illustrations are placed at the end of the chapters to make review of the material more efficient, and are annotated to emphasize important aspects of endoscopic or radiographic technique and interpretation. A number of radiographs are included within each diagnostic category to illustrate variability of findings. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
