Dysphagia: Diagnosis and Treatment of Esophageal Motility Disorders provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary overview of the diagnosis and management of dysphagia and other esophageal symptoms. All aspects of dysphagia are covered, with detailed consideration of both physiology and evaluation methods. The book is sectioned in two parts to differentiate content for diagnosis from treatment. Hot topics include coverage on the pharmacological causes of dysphagia, the physiology of normal swallowing, ambulatory pH monitoring as well as recurrent dysphagia after treatments. The content is grounded in evidence-based medicine that is the result of clinical outcome research, both prospective and randomized making this the perfect reference for clinical researchers and a go-to for general surgeons, foreguts surgeons, thoracic surgeons, and gastroenterologists.
