Description

Since the�first edition of�Clinical�Pancreatology�for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons�was first published sixteen years ago, the knowledge and clinical management of pancreatic diseases have developed markedly. Thanks to the development of translational research and the��from bench to bedside��concept, much progress from the lab has been applied to clinical practice.�Additionally, several highly relevant clinical trials published over the last�decade�have resulted in the updating�and optimisation of clinical guidelines.� A new and validated classification of�the�severity and complications of acute pancreatitis�that�is firmly rooted in clinical practice�has become�the basis for the development of minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic necrosis. The�etiopathogenic�knowledge of chronic pancreatitis and other�pancreatopaties, like that associated with diabetes mellitus, has developed significantly.�Increased study�of cystic pancreatic tumours, which has been reflected in the publication of several guidelines and consensus reports over the last few years, is especially important. Most research efforts have focused on pancreatic cancer, which have led and will further lead to a significant increase in the therapeutic armamentarium against this devastating disease. Finally, many newly published studies have changed the concept, causes, clinical relevance, diagnosis and treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.�Updates based�on these developments and more are included in the new edition of�Clinical�Pancreatology�for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons.� This�new edition of�Clinical�Pancreatology�for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons�is a result of�the collaboration�between�the world’s leading experts in�each�area of clinical�pancreatology,�with the aim of facilitating�gastroenterologists,�surgeons,�oncologists,�internists,�nutritionists,�diabetologists,�paediatricians,�radiologists,�pathologists and other specialists�in their daily clinical practice.�This book�is�an indispensable update�providing leading knowledge in�clinical�pancreatology.�Typham this is the title: Clinical Pancreatology for Practising Gastroenterologists and Surgeons 2nd Edition
