This is a pocket sized guide to the management of commonly presenting GI emergencies. The first part uses the symptom based approach and later sections cover procedures for managing specific conditions and complications including the latest techniques. There have been many significant advances in the practice of modern gastroenterology. Effective new treatments have been developed for gastrointestinal emergencies over the past three decades including gastrointestinal bleeding and biliary disease. The aim of this book is to provide a practical, up to date guide in the management of gastrointestinal emergencies.
