The Esophagus: Medical and Surgical Management.

The Esophagus: Medical and Surgical Management. This article is only available in the PDF format. Download the PDF to view the article, as well as its associated figures and tables. Abstract The extensive experience of two men interested primarily in the endoscopic and surgical approaches to the esophagus is related in a clear, uncomplicated fashion in this well-printed volume. Emphasis is placed on detailed descriptions of various diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers: the use of the rigid esophagoscope; the techniques, advantages, and hazards of bouginage; and operative procedures are thoroughly covered. Physiology is not stressed, and medical management is only sketchily presented, detracting from the over-all value of the book. The anatomical pictures, taken from a Ciba publication, are clear, but many of the x-ray reproductions are hazy and the abnormal findings not well delineated. The book will be particularly useful to those interested in the manipulative aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal disorders. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png A.M.A. Archives of Internal Medicine American Medical Association
