The first edition of Colonoscopy: Principles and Practice was conceived because there was no overall source of information concerning the current status of colonoscopy. The chapter headings were intended to cover the entire range of colonoscopy. With careful editing, attention to detail in each chapter and drawing on the vast clinical and teaching experience of all three editors, the book won first prize in the 2004 prestigious medical society award for gastroenterology conferred by the British Medical Association.
In one of the reviews of the first edition, it was stated that Colonoscopy was “a masterpiece of its kind. The authors should be complimented for their successful effort to provide such an important and fascinating book”. “Very rarely has the reviewer examined a monograph . . . which has impressed him so much for its clarity, completeness, attractiveness and its fascination”.
This second edition is intended to capture all the changes that have taken place in the field of colonoscopy within the past several years, with six new chapters and 34 new authors, who represent the best minds and practitioners in the field of colonoscopy and colonoscopic imaging. Each chapter has been extensively revised, and many were completely rewritten with a view to bring a focus of current knowledge to this updated second edition. The editors have encouraged all authors to add layers of new information to the data of 5 years ago.
As colonoscopy is such a visual imaging field and since the technique of therapy is so closely associated, a DVD has been added to the book to accompany this edition. The DVD has over 100 video segments covering the entire aspect of colonoscopy from history to teaching, from insertion technique to polypectomy, and it also contains many cases of interesting pathology ranging from parasites to perforation. Several videos demonstrate the most recent developments of narrow-band imaging, confocal laser endomicroscopy, and endoscopic submucosal dissection.Most of the individual video clips for the DVD were contributed by the editors, many were submitted by the chapter authors themselves, and others represent videos of live cases performed at international teaching courses. Some of the videos have audio commentaries, but most have an accompanying full text description.
This second edition of Colonoscopy: Principles and Practice will enhance the knowledge of everyone interested in the field of colonoscopy and colonic imaging. Although intended to be a source of information for physicians, surgeons, residents and fellows, as well as students and gastrointestinal assistants, our goal is to enhance the care and treatment of patients with colonic problems, who are the ultimate beneficiaries of shared knowledge and improved skills.
