Abstract

This text, with a multi-international authorship representing recognized experts in their field, is dedicated to the practical aspects of endoscopic mucosal resection, which many endoscopists in the western world have little experience of.It provides a careful step-by-step guide as well as a comprehensive analysis of the literature to date.The whole of the GI tract is covered.Within each relevant chapter, the areas pertinent to colorectal disease are well described.The main sections include staging, endoscopic mucosal resection, pathological assessment and follow up, the more controversial and technically challenging endoscopic submucosal resection as well as the management of complications.The final chapter on prototypes and future directions of research is particularly fascinating.This text is beautifully illustrated and well referenced and would represent an excellent reference source for readers interested in this innovative but soon to be wellestablished technique.
