The encyclopedic guide to the pancreas for practicing clinicians and surgeons
In the past decade extraordinary developments in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology and endoscopy have been coupled with major advances in surgical techniques and basic sciences. As a result the management of pancreatic disorders is now handled by a multidisciplinary team. This book shows you how to achieve superior patient management by taking the team approach to in-hospital care.
Fully revised and updated, this new edition of The Pancreas: An Integrated Textbook of Basic Science, Medicine and Surgery details the latest knowledge on genetics and molecular biological background in terms of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pathophysiology for all known pancreatic disorders. The Editor and author team are leading pancreatologists of high international repute and they present global best-practice and evidence-based knowledge in this comprehensive reference.
A timely section on early and late outcome data considers the benefits of management including chemotherapy and immune therapy. Incorporating evidence-based data, the book also focuses on early diagnosis, limited surgical treatment, oncology, treatment results and the option of transplantation.
This new edition contains more than 400 illustrations, line drawings and radiographs to provide a step-by-step approach to endoscopic techniques and surgical procedures.

Nowadays, we are dealing more frequently with the entity of large intestine polyps, as endoscopy and bowel cancer screening programmes are rapidly expanding. Often a single polyp is involved, but more complex situations are also encountered, including the well-defined pattern of polyposis. These situations can fall into a gray area, not only for diagnosis, but also for the correct treatment and follow-up. New developments in pathophysiology and treatment options are leading to new questions. This handbook aims to offer a integrated approach for all physicians (doctors) who deal with these issues, by presenting up-to-date discussion from genetics through treatment, to implications of genetic counseling. It will also help specialists to offer more "evidence-based" treatments, by implementing the best clinical individual judgement informed by the best current scientific evidence.
This practical handbook presents the essential clinical information from Yamada's Textbook of Gastroenterology, Fourth Edition in a format that is ideal for rapid reference and review. A consistent, easy-to-follow template is used for symptom-oriented and disease-oriented chapters, and crucial information is presented in tables, flow charts, and lists. The first 20 chapters focus on approaches to patients with various symptoms and cover differential diagnosis, workup, and management. Subsequent chapters focus on diseases and discuss epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, testing, and management. This edition includes several new chapters on liver diseases. Also included are chapters on endoscopy and imaging procedures.
