Yamada's Handbook of Gastroenterology

About this book

A pocket handbook drawn from Yamada's Textbook of Gastroenterology, in two parts. Part 1 takes fifteen presenting problems, from dysphagia, GI bleeding, abdominal pain and diarrhoea to jaundice, ascites, nutritional support and endoscopic procedures. Part 2 gives concise chapters on specific diseases of the oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, pancreas, biliary tract and liver, plus GI infections, vascular lesions and obesity treatment. Chapters follow a set layout of clinical presentation, diagnostic investigation and management, and a closing chapter of questions and answers supports revision. Colour plates show key endoscopic and radiological findings.
