The diagnostic and interventional endoscopic ultrasound (endosonography, EUS) has become widely established today and plays an important role in all specialized endoscopy centers. Most of the questions revolve around the pancreas – the organ where functional disorders, inflammation, and tumors can often have far more devastating consequences than in other organs. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain clear and meaningful findings with high specificity and sensitivity using the appropriate methods currently available, resulting in the best possible further treatment for the patient.

This book on pancreatic endosonography reflects the immense practical experience of the author team. The motto here is “Less text – more concise information.” In addition to diagnostic examination methods, therapeutic applications of EUS are also demonstrated.

The authors, Stephan Hollerbach and Christian Jürgensen, are experts in the field of endosonography and bring their wealth of knowledge and expertise to this comprehensive guide. They present the key principles, techniques, and clinical applications of endoscopic ultrasound for pancreatic disorders in a concise and accessible manner.

Book Overview
