Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was first conceptualized almost 30 years ago during the early years of endoscopy and was developed in an attempt to improve ultrasound imaging of the pancreas. The first EUS prototype was designed and manufactured in the early 1980s. Since that first prototype, endoscopic ultrasoundhas evolved into an accepted and valuable endoscopic modality and subsequently, a therapeutic modality for the management of many gastrointestinal disorders. EUS is now entering a new era in which the procedure is leaving the confines of specialized tertiary referral centers and academic institutions, and becoming disseminated in community based hospitals throughout the world.
Additionally, the technology is now progressing from that of diagnosis and staging, to a more interventional therapeutic role. This 2nd Edition of Endoscopic Ultrasonography improves the training and dissemination of EUS by providing interested gastrointestinal endoscopists with an authoritative, yet practical, approach to the role of EUS in the management of specific digestive disorders. The primary purposes of this text are to first, allow a complete and thorough understanding of the currentstate of endoscopic ultrasonography and second, help guide the reader in learning both basic and advanced endoscopic ultrasound techniques. Both diagnostic and therapeutic applications of endoscopic ultrasonography are thoroughly reviewed.
The target audience for this text includes all gastroenterologists and trainees wishing to know more about endoscopic ultrasound and its role in managing digestive disorders. This work will also be of interest to gastrointestinal surgeons, surgical residents, medical housestaff and internists, pulmonary physicians, and oncologists who deal with gastrointestinal malignancies. For those interested in learning or training in endoscopic ultrasound, the text provides a technical “how to” approach to learning this advanced endoscopic procedure.
This 2nd edition brings many new and exciting changes and additions to the text including new chapters on the history of EUS, and several chapters on the emerging field of therapeutic EUS. We have also continued to emphasize a practical “how to” > approach to learning endoscopic ultrasound and have made great efforts to present each chapter in extensive detail. Each chapter individually discusses a specific aspect of EUS as it relates to a particular gastrointestinal disorder or organ system. The experts who have graciously contributed to the book have identified up to date current references in their chapters and more importantly, have purposefully included their own particular styles, practices, and opinions as to how EUS should be performed. This individualized approach provides a diverse introduction to the role of EUS in gastroenterology today without obscuring key concepts in both the theory and performance of this procedure.
