Offering the benefits of open surgery with far less trauma to patients, endoscopy has emerged as a key minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic modality. Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this innovative full-color atlas leads you step-by-step through the full range of procedures that can be performed endoscopically. Written by pioneers in the field, the book covers all the important endoscopic procedures, from foreign body extraction, enteral tube placement, and papillectomy to biliary stone extraction, bougienage, and balloon dilation, and many others. Hundreds of exquisite watercolor illustrations visually recreate each step to make even complex procedures relatively simple. You will also gain a full understanding of pathologic conditions from the clear anatomic illustrations.

Highlights of the second edition:
- Updated to include mucosal en bloc resection for early gastrointestinal cancers, self-expandable metallic stents for Klatskin tumor, treatment of intraabdominal abscesses, and more

Combining succinct instructions with hundreds of richly detailed illustrations, this bestseller is the "how-to" guide to therapeutic endoscopic techniques. It is an essential learning and reference tool for gastroenterologists and endoscopic surgeons at any level.
