There have been many changes in procedures and treatments during the last 10 years which have revolutionized the care of patients with gastrointestinal disease. The new edition of 'Practical Endoscopy' expands on its predecessor by covering all aspects of flexible endoscopy, not just those covering gastroenterology.



The result is a text which is user-friendly yet comprehensive. The extensive use of diagrams, photographs and tables ensures that the book is easy to reference by all health care personnel working in this specialty.



'Practical Endoscopy' starts by covering general issues in health care managment such as staffing, endoscopy unit design and the law. The 19 chapters cover all technical and nursing aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic flexible endoscopy including all aspects of gastrointestinal endoscopy, bronchoscopy/thoracoscopy, hysteroscopy and flexible cystoscopy. An insight is also given into the initial development of fibre-optic technology and the devleopment of the endoscopy assistant as a specialist health worker.
