Request a sales quoteDysphagia: Diagnosis and Treatment of Esophageal Motility Disorders provides a interdisciplinary overview of the diagnosis and management of dysphagia and other esophageal symptoms. All aspects of dysphagia are covered, with detailed consideration of both physiology and evaluation methods. Hot topics include coverage on the pharmacological causes of dysphagia, the physiology of normal swallowing, ambulatory pH monitoring as well as recurrent dysphagia after treatments. The content is grounded in evidence-based medicine that is the result of clinical outcome research, both prospective and randomized, making this the perfect reference for clinical researchers and a go-to for general surgeons, foreguts surgeons, thoracic surgeons and gastroenterologists.
- Presents a unified interdisciplinary approach to dysphagia covering perspectives from multiple specialties
- Provides in-depth analysis of radiologic, endoscopic and manometric evaluation of dysphagia including analysis of the Chicago Classification 4.0, which has changed previous paradigms
- Includes comprehensive coverage of dysphagia from evidence-based medicine that is the result of clinical outcome research, both prospective and randomized
