Advanced Techniques for Endoscopic Resection in the GI Tract

Provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of advanced endoscopic techniques for the evaluation and resection in the gastrointestinal tract.

In recent years, there have been major strides in safety and efficacy of minimally invasive endoscopic approaches with ongoing advances in therapeutic endoscopy.

Surgery has traditionally been the standard of care for the treatment of neoplastic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. With advances in endoscopic resection techniques, there has been a paradigm shift in how to approach many of these precancerous and early cancerous lesions. Potential advantages of endoscopic resection include its minimally invasiveness which often translates into quicker patient recovery.

Each chapter in the book addresses specific topics such as:

•  Endoscopic evaluation of lesions
•  Technical aspects of the procedure
• Management of adverse events
• Post-procedural care and follow-up
