The Year in Gastroenterology and Hepatology

From one of the world's leading medical institutions, this volume brings the reader up to date on recent developments in a specialty that presents a variety of challenges to those concerned with the treatment of disorders of the digestive and hepatobiliary systems. Organised on a broadly anatomical basis, the volume is divided into four sections covering the upper and lower GI tract, endoscopy, and the liver. Medical and surgical problems, paediatric disease, new therapeutic agents, techniques and procedures - in addition to advances in genetics and cell biology that are likely to have an impact on clinical practice - are all discussed.
