OPERATIVE ENDOSCOPY of THE DIGESTIVE TRACT

FROM THE FOREWORD

This volume, an atlas text of operative endoscopic techniques, richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, covers the range of operations currently performed by the endoscopist, without omitting prospects of further development. It is schematic, clear, didactic and bears witness to its authors' exceptional experience. It will prove an excellent informative guide for the practising physician, and indispensable to the young physician who believes, or will believe, in this branch of work, which falls in the category between medicine and surgery, and which is ceaselessly undergoing technical evolution. Thanks to the didactic value of the figures and the clinical explanation it contains, the volume will be of great use to those specialising in this discipline, serving as a source of useful and practical advice for their professional future. I wholeheartedly believe this atlas text-book to be a landmark of great topicality and utility in the technical field and I am convinced that it will enjoy all the success it deserves in return for the devotion and hard work invested in it by the authors.
