In the second edition of the book, the diversity of established and modern endoscopic therapeutic interventions is systematically, comprehensively, and practically presented by experts in visceral surgery and gastroenterology. Numerous endoscopic images and schematic drawings illustrate the descriptions of therapeutic procedures.
For each endoscopic procedure, the following is described:
Indications Personnel, instrumental, and technical requirements Implementation Results Limitations, complications, and their management
All contributions have been updated; a new chapter on hygiene measures has been added. Practical tips and references to alternative approaches appeal to both the young specialist and the experienced endoscopist, as well as endoscopy professionals from other fields.
