Surgery for Benign Oesophageal Disorders

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the full spectrum of benign oesophageal disorders with an emphasis on surgical approaches. There are now new, sophisticated diagnostic methods and endoscopic treatment modalities which represent the high level of innovation within the field. These innovations are assimilated here through evidence-based chapters, written by practitioners and experts in their specific subjects. Some of the topics include gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's oesophagus, oesophageal motility disorders, oesophageal diverticula, oesophageal caustic injuries, and discussion of minimally invasive surgery.

This comprehensive, practical overview is suitable not only for medical students or residents interested in gastroenterology and gastroenterological surgery, but also for clinicians and practitioners.
