Yamada's Textbook of Gastroenterology

About this book

A two-volume reference textbook of gastroenterology in 156 chapters across five parts. Part 1 covers anatomy and development of each digestive organ, and Part 2 the mechanisms of normal and abnormal function, including motility, secretion and absorption, nutrition and the microbiome. Part 3 gives a problem-based approach to symptoms such as dysphagia, diarrhoea, constipation and abnormal liver tests. Part 4 covers diseases of the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, pancreas, biliary tract and liver, and Part 5 describes endoscopic, imaging, pathology and function-testing modalities. A combined subject index closes the book.
