Functional Diseases of the Esophagus

Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Surgical Technique

192 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This is an open access book on the pathophysiology, diagnosis and surgical techniques of functional diseases of the  esophagus.

In the past, these diseases were only studied and treated in a few centres. However, in the last thirty years, thanks to the advent of laparoscopic surgery, interest in these pathologies has broadened considerably, and not only from a surgical point of view: new diagnostic technologies have in fact been developed that have led to more appropriate classifications and endoscopic treatments have been proposed with excellent results; in addition, robotic surgery is emerging in specialised centres and is likely to replace the laparoscopic approach.
