Longitudinal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is now widely accepted as a powerful tool for the exploration of organs outside of the gastrointestinal lumen. The first step in the learning of longitudinal EUS is the first understanding the human anatomic structure on ultrasound. This book provides both the beginner and the middle level endosonographists with a comprehensive guide to anatomic structures in the upper abdomen in longitudinal EUS. Through the use of numerous colour images and supplemented with online video clips, this book will be a great help in mastering longitudinal EUS.

Human Anatomy and Endoscopic Ultrasonography is a comprehensive atlas of normal endosonographic anatomy utilizing correlative images from the Visible Human Data Bank. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a rapidly growing area of gastroenterology and this text aims to be the definitive work on human endoscopic ultrasonography anatomy. Drs Bhutani and Deutsch are renowned for their work in this expanding area. In addition to covering the principles of UES, the abundantly illustrated text presents views from the major vascular structures, esophagus, stomach, duodenum and the male and female rectum. This work is original and offers a much-needed atlas and training tool of normal human anatomy by EUS. It addition to shortening the lengthy EUS learning process, this work will provide a useful reference for improving current skills and anatomic image recognition during endosonography.

Each chapter features a multitude of full-color high-resolution images and includes key references to the current literature in the field. Additionally, reference tables and informative figures highlight the salient points. The book is unique in that it is written by experienced thoracic surgeons, pulmonary medicine physicians, and cytopathologists who use EBUS-TBNA in a large medical center. This publication is of interest to individuals learning and practicing cytopathology, in addition to clinicians practicing pulmonary/thoracic medicine or surgery. In short, it provides important pearls of wisdom to create a comprehensive reference for all physicians involved with EBUS-TBNA.

Comprehensively covering various techniques such as ERCP, EUS, EST and lithotripsy, this book highlights innovative endoscopic surgical techniques for managing pancreatico-biliary. It will provide readers an extensive overview of the therapeutic endoscopy management solutions and techniques currently available. Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy for Pancreatico-Biliary Diseases was written by pioneering experts from around the world, providing a concise yet comprehensive summary of the current state of therapeutic endoscopic techniques in a step-by-step format. Each chapter examines both major and subtle yet important techniques, together with new findings, an approach that will appeal to a broad readership, from beginning to advanced endoscopists and surgeons with a background in gastroenterology, particularly those specializing in endoscopy of pancreatico-biliary diseases to help guide patient management.

The Atlas of Endoscopic Ultrasonography provides readers with a large collection of excellent images obtained from both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The Atlas includes a DVD which will be an invaluable addition to the library of trainee and practising gastroenterologists with video clips and searchable database of images. Together the book and DVD offer a first class collection of images to give a highly integrated introduction to endoscopic ultrasonography. The Atlas is an ideal companion to Dr Gress et al’s Endoscopic Ultrasonography, Second Edition.

This volume provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview on interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Each chapter covers a single procedure or related group of procedures, features a detailed literature evaluation and tips on these cutting edge endoscopic techniques, and is accompanied by a comprehensive endoscopic video and illustrative endoscopic and ultrasonographic images. The text also reviews adverse events related to interventional EUS, both how to avoid them and how to manage them when they arise. Written by to endoscopic experts in the field, Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasound is a valuable resource for practicing gastroenterologists who perform advanced endoscopy.

This book aims to provide the basic technology and recent advances in biliopancreatic endoscopy. The method of Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is popularly applied to enlarge the papillary orifice for removal of biliary and pancreatic stones, to relieve obstruction of distal bile duct or pancreatic duct by nasobiliary / nasopancreatic drainage or stenting, and to remove the premalignant tumor of papilla in recent four decades. The diagnostic role of ERCP is already replaced by the noninvasive images such as abdominal sonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). This book will be contributed by the senior members of the Digestive Endoscopy Society of Taiwan (DEST) who are the leading ERCPists of the medical centers and teaching hospitals in Taiwan. There are 21 chapters, including the various techniques of therapeutic ERCP and EUS, how to approach the difficult cases and prevent complications. Recently, many new facilities and techniques develop to solve the difficult problems, but those new methods may have potential hazard to the patients, particularly in the inexperienced hands. We will share our clinical experience and comments on the recent literatures, to illustrate the standard operative procedures of biliopancreatic endoscopy, and focus on the patients’ safety as well as efficacy. We hope this book will be helpful for the readers in clinical application and facilitate the junior doctors to choose the cost-effective and safe procedure to help their patients in the future.
