Translated into seven languages, Cotton and Williams’
Practical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has for the last 25 years
been the basic primer for endoscopy around the
world, providing clear, clinical and practical guidance on the
fundamentals of endoscopy practice, from patient positioning and
safety, how to perform different endoscopic
procedures, and the latest in therapeutic techniques
and advances in technology.
It’s key strength and reason for its popularity is its
step-by-step, practical approach, especially with the use of
outstanding colour artwork to illustrate the right and wrong ways
to perform endoscopy. Add to this the weight and expertise of its
author team, led by Peter Cotton and Christopher Williams, and the
final result is an essential tool for all gastroenterologists
and endoscopists, particularly trainees looking to improve
their endoscopic technique.
Joining Peter Cotton, Christopher Williams and Brian
Saunders in the seventh edition are two exciting stars in
UK and US endoscopy, Adam Haycock and Jonathan Cohen. New to
this edition are:
* Approximately 35 high-quality videos illustrating optimum
endoscopy practice, all referenced via 'video eyes’ in
the text
* Self-assessment MCQs to test main learning
points
* An online clinical photo imagebank to complement the line
illustrations, perfect for downloading into scientific
presentations
* Key learning points in every chapter
* Much more information on mucosal resection techniques
and small bowel endoscopy–for capsule and
'deep’ enteroscopy
* The latest recommendations and guidelines from the ASGE, ASG,
UEGW and BSG.
Cotton and Williams’ Practical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy,
seventh edition is fully modernised, masterful as ever,
and once again, the number one endoscopy manual for a whole
new generation of gastroenterologists and endoscopists.
