This comprehensive atlas, containing a wealth of high-quality images, illustrates the complete spectrum of presentations of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). It focuses especially on the most recent developments in the use of endoscopy in IBD, providing detailed guidance on endoscopic indices of disease activity, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis. In addition to ileocolonoscopy, small bowel endoscopy, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy, chapters are included on the role of both established radiological techniques, such as CT, MRI, and abdominal ultrasonography, and the newest approaches, including high-resolution endoscopy, narrow band imaging, and confocal laser endomicroscopy. Extraintestinal manifestations and complications are addressed in separate chapters, and the book concludes by presenting surgical findings. The authors are international authorities with diverse expert knowledge who have collaborated to create an ideal tool for all who wish to master endoscopic evaluation in IBD.

In this visual reference for clinicians, allied health professionals, and students, Orchard (Gastroenterology Unit, St. Mary's Hospital, UK) outlines diagnosis, management, complications, comorbidities, and therapeutic modalities of the major types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)--ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and idiopathic disorders characterized by gastrointestinal inflammation. Coverage encompasses areas such as diagnostic investigations of all types, fertility and IBD, extraintestinal manifestations, malignancy in IBD, and drugs and surgery for IBD. The book's two-column color layout offers color and b&w diagnostic images, clinical photos, process diagrams, anatomical illustrations, statistical maps, and summary charts.

Atlas of Endoscopy Imaging in Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a complete reference providing all aspects of endoscopy imaging in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Building on the etiology and pathogenesis of IBD and taking into account the wide range of clinical presentations and phenotypes that reflect a long list of endoscopic features, this book systematically and exclusively presents all IBD-related endoscopy imaging for optimal understanding, diagnosis and management. - Provides systemic classification and characterization of endoscopy imaging in the surgically altered bowel and in healthy and diseased IBD patients - Incorporates state-of-the-art research in the area of endoscopy imaging in CD and UC, from current literature and the vast experience of a panel of national and international experts - Covers all possible aspects related to endoscopic imaging in Inflammatory bowel disease

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is the principal tool for the investigation and treatment of most diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The Atlas of Clinical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy offers a comprehensive overview of the role of gastrointestinal endoscopy in diagnosis. The atlas contains an abundance of high-quality images of a wide range of diseases of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by precise clinical descriptions. Normal findings and variants are also documented. Furthermore, many images obtained by means of advanced image-enhanced endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, device-assisted enteroscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound are included. This book will be an ideal reference for both specialists and trainees in gastroenterology. It will provide the reader with an invaluable store of knowledge and with the clear guidance required in order to perform gastrointestinal endoscopy to best effect.

This book conjoins the latest advances on the use of endoscopy to diagnose, monitor, and treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Chapters include the historical use of rigid sigmoidoscopy, non-interventional imaging procedures, and the correlation of pathology and endoscopic visualization. This is the first book to include individual chapters in gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, and IBD texts, the preeminent role of endoscopic imaging in the management of chronic ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. It also includes chapters on capsule endoscopy and balloon and overtube-assisted enteroscopy to define the presence and activity of Crohn's enteritis and additional chapters defining the use of random biopsies versus chromoendoscopy, and computer enhanced imaging to define possible dysplasia development. The book also includes access to online videos, making it the ultimate verbal and visual tool for all medical professionals interested in the advances in the field over the last several decades. Endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a concise text that is of great value to practicing endoscopists, gastroenterologists, general or colorectal surgeons, physicians in training, and all medical professionals caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

This book is structured in three major parts and the first part is a comprehensive overview of IBD-related intestinal cancer. The second and third parts provide rare and important cases on ulcerative colitis (UD) and Crohn’s disease (CD) presenting the macroscopic image of the resected specimen and analyzing the endoscopic and the pathological image to explain how to find the IBD cancer. It also delivers a detailed analysis of the histological structure of cancers. This book tries to clarify the critical but yet to be answered questions such as “Why is it so difficult to find out?”, “Why so flat?” and “How to name superficial lesion with invisible margin?” and so on. Atlas of Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Associated Intestinal Cancer is designed to serve all endoscopists and gastroenterologists managing IBD patients. It also is valuable reading for pathologists who are diagnosing gastrointestinal lesions. This book is designed to assist these medical professionals to find cancers in the early stage and stay up-to-date on image-enhanced endoscopy techniques. This book is a translation of an original Japanese edition. This has been facilitated using machine translation (by the service DeepL.com) followed by editors and authors revising, editing and verifying the translated manuscript.
