Atlas of Esophageal Disease and Intervention by Shanda H Blackmon

Atlas of Esophageal Disease and Intervention by Shanda H Blackmon

This atlas provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of all interventions that pertain to the esophagus. It includes a review of the current staging modalities, ablation technologies, resection and reconstruction techniques, and disease classification. Evidence-based guidelines regarding how each intervention is chosen are also included. With color illustrations and photographs for each surgery, the atlas details specific anatomic topics such as micro-anatomy of Barrett’s and Dysplasia, EMR pathology, endoscopic ultrasound, and conventional surgical anatomy. Each intervention is presented in task format as a task list to be checked-off as each step is completed.

Written by experts in the field, Atlas of Esophageal Disease and Intervention: A Multidisciplinary Approach serves as a valuable resource for any practitioner who performs esophageal intervention and will guide new surgeons and gastroenterologists into the hybrid multidisciplinary approach to this disease.

“This atlas is an excellent, well-illustrated guide to esophageal pathology and relevant diagnostic and therapeutic interventions… The audience includes all professionals involved in the care of patients with esophageal pathology. It is certainly an invaluable resource for general surgery residents and thoracic and gastroenterology trainees. This is a compact book that is easy to study. It is rich in excellent illustrations and artwork.” (Evgeny V. Arshava, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
