Interventional Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Endoscopic Management and Treatment of Complications (eBook)

Interventional Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Endoscopic Management and Treatment of Complications covers the preparation, principle, techniques, and damage control of complications in endoscopic therapy, providing the ultimate guidance in endoscopic management of IBD. With contributions from a panel of international leading experts in the field, perspectives are included from GI pathologists, GI radiologists, gastroenterologists, advanced endoscopists, IBD specialists and colorectal surgeons. Recommendations from experts are also included within each chapter. By bridging medical and surgical treatment modalities for IBD, this is the perfect reference for GI researchers, medical students, therapeutic GI endoscopists, IBD specialists, surgeons and advanced health care providers.

• Incorporates state-of-the-art of research in the area of therapeutic endoscopy in Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
• Makes the connection between the understanding of the complex nature and disease course of IBD with corresponding advanced endoscopic procedures
• Explores endoscopic treatment as the missing link between medical and surgical treatment for complex Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
• Contains access to videos demonstrating important procedural concepts
