Thoroughly updated and greatly expanded, the Fourth Edition of the Manual of Gastroenterologic Procedures covers all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in current use for adult and pediatric patients. 50 procedures, both endoscopic and non-endoscopic, are described in a concise, structured, easy-to-follow format that includes indications, contraindications, patient preparation, equipment, technique, post-procedure care and complications. Over 100 drawings guide readers through key steps.

Appendices provide information on organizing a procedure unit, handling specimens, doses of GI drugs, guidelines for endoscopic screening and surveillance and CPT codes.
