YAMADA'S Handbook of Gastroenterology

The GI doctor’s classic portable, clinically-focused and authoritative reference, revised and updated

The revised and updated fourth edition of Yamada’s Handbook of Gastroenterology focuses on the clinical aspects of patients presenting with gastrointestinal and liver disease. The book is a portable, quick reference tool designed to assist trainees and practicing gastroenterologists in the practical assessment and clinical management of patients. The Handbook is divided into two parts; the first is symptom focused and the second highlights diseases. Each chapter features key practice points, essentials of diagnosis, potential pitfalls and case studies. In addition, the book includes multiple choice questions and answers to enhance understanding.

The fourth edition includes updated clinical practice guidelines from National Societies (American Gastroenterological Association, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, American Association for the Study of Liver Disease and American College of Gastroenterology).

The new edition also offers many new photographs of endoscopic, radiographic and histopathologic images. This important resource:

Contains both symptom- and disease-focused chapters, and covers all clinical conditions and symptoms likely to be encountered
Presents case studies, practice points, essentials of diagnosis boxes, society guideline comparisons, and MCQs for self-assessment tailored to ABIM Board level
Offers an abundance of management algorithms and flowcharts to help plot the best route for clinical care
Includes a full-colour plate section

Written for gastroenterology, hepatology and internal medicine specialists, Yamada’s Handbook of Gastroenterology, Fourth Edition continues to offer a succinct guide for daily use on the wards and also as a resource for preparation for GI Boards and re-certification.
