There are three elements to this agenda: initial training, continuous quality improvement and patient empowerment. For the first time, the book is accompanied by two CD-ROMs - featuring video and animation of how to perform the techniques. The first CD-ROM covers the upper GI tract and consists of two sections: (1) the background to instruments and how to get set up, and (2) how to perform diagnostic techniques. The second CD-ROM covers diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in colonoscopy. Cotton and Williams' book has evolved with each new edition to reflect developments in the field of endoscopy over the last 20 years. This fifth edition draws on the vast experience of the authors and heralds current changes in both endoscopy and publishing. The emerging 'back to basics' attitude of endoscopy opinion formers with regard to the teaching of endoscopy has resulted in a more focused table of contents specifically targeted at newcomers to this specialty. Book Description: Endoscopy has revolutionized the practice of medical and surgical gastroenterology. The authors of the new fifth edition of this highly-acclaimed book are among the leading endoscopists in the world and their aim is to provide the newcomer to this field, or the practitioner requiring an update, with all the practical advice they need. In addition, this new edition includes, for the first time, two CD-ROMs with video and audio providing a personal 'master class' demonstration of the techniques by each of the authors.In discussing the procedures themselves in both the text and the CD-ROMs. the authors begin at the top of the gut and end at the bottom. As one reviewer commented, the discussions throughout the text are characterized by the same '...clarity of expression, perception of other endoscopists' difficulties and depth of their vast experience that is so evident when [the authors] are lecturing or teaching'..
