In addition, this new edition includes, for the first time, two CD-ROMs with video and audio providing a personal 'master class' demonstration of the techniques by each of the authors. In discussing the procedures themselves in both the text and the CD-ROMs. the authors begin at the top of the gut and end at the bottom. As one reviewer commented, the discussions throughout the text are characterized by the same '...clarity of expression, perception of other endoscopists' difficulties and depth of their vast experience that is so evident when (the authors) are lecturing or teaching'.The content of the CD-ROM's are as follows: the upper gastrointestinal CD-ROM uses still photographs, diagrams and videos to provide detailed information about the practice of upper endoscopy._x000D_Sections cover the endoscopy unit, staff and equipment, patient care and safety, and all standard diagnostic and therapeutic unit, staff equipment, patient care and safety, and all standard diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
