Recent years have brought major shifts in the way endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is used in everyday practice, including the incorporation of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) techniques with ERCP. The 4th Edition of this practical reference helps you make the most of today’s ERCP in your practice, with authoritative, highly illustrated guidance on every aspect of this complex tool, including coverage of the latest techniques both in print and on video.

Key Features
Provides detailed, full-color illustrations and in-depth instructions for performing all procedures.
Depicts each procedure in dozens of step-by-step videos that clearly show ERCP techniques and imaging interpretation, including many new or recently improved procedures.
Covers recent advancements in balloon assisted endoscopy, and provides guidance on performing ERCP on patients with surgically altered anatomy.
Includes new chapters on endoscopic disinfection to address antibiotic resistant bacterial infections traced back to duodenoscopes; the environmental implications of ERCP; and magnetic biliary anastomosis.
Contains clear therapeutic guidelines that help you determine when and when not to perform ERCP.
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
