ERCP and EUS

The book "ERCP and EUS" by Linda S. Lee provides a comprehensive overview of the endoscopic procedures ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) and EUS (endoscopic ultrasound). It is aimed at professionals in the field of gastroenterology and serves as a valuable clinical resource based on a case-based approach, supplemented by accompanying videos. The content covers a wide range of clinical conditions that can be treated with these procedures. The book highlights the key techniques of ERCP, discusses complications and current data on preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis, and addresses essential aspects of training in ERCP, including the use of endoscopic simulators and competency assessment according to the new ACGME guidelines. Additionally, new techniques for treating biliary diseases and advancements in minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for pancreatic disorders are discussed. The chapters on EUS provide an overview of the available devices and the performance of EUS-FNA (endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration) and address relevant training issues.
