Dysphagia

Dysphagia: 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.

*4 stars* "...a compact but comprehensive book that covers a broad spectrum of benign esophageal diseases that cause dysphagia,… lavishly illustrated with radiographs and manometric studies. [A] truly multidisciplinary approach,… this is a book for specialty physicians and physicians in training (surgery and gastroenterology)…. [F]ollows a logical organizational structure and is highly readable — it lends itself not only to reference but also reading to enhance one's overall knowledge. [L]ogical and complete,… an excellent, compact, highly readable book that will be of use to physicians and trainees who encounter patients with dysphagia. It will serve as a companion resource for surgeons, who will find it a useful reference to supplement, but not replace, surgical texts.” —©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Carol Scott-Conner, MD, PhD, MBA, MFA (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics)
