Clinical Gastroenterology: A Practical Problem-Based Approach

by Nicholas J. Talley

Clinical Gastroenterology was one of the first books to take a problem-based, rather than disease-based approach to this subject. The 2nd edition continues to focus on common and uncommon problems as they present in clinical practice and is aimed at the medical student, specialist trainee and general practitioner.

The management sections of each chapter have been significantly updated in the new edition reflecting the changes over the past 5 years. The medical and surgical synthesis has been revised and there are now more management algorithms and summaries for patients. The authors have also expanded the reflux disease and inflammatory bowel disease sections.

Written by two leading authors in the field, Clinical Gastroenterology 2nd edition offers a clear and concise guide to gastroenterological problems.
