The collage of endoscopic images that the authors have put together is impressive and comprehensive – it spans the entire spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders including tropical entities…The array of images presented in this Atlas take you through the entire progression of a disease process from a normal mucosa to its most severe manifestation, with careful detail paid to the intermediate stages as well…This book is a much-needed resource, both for gastroenterology trainees as well as fully trained gastroenterologists. The authors must be commended for their superlative efforts. Vivek V Gumaste, MD, MRCPI, MHCM (Harvard), Professor of Medicine, Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra. Chairman of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, The need for such an atlas in this part of the world cannot be overemphasized as atlases published in the western world are expensive and not available everywhere.

Endoscopy is not just mastering the technique; it also involves interpretation of the findings, which includes grading of the lesion in many instances. In addition, most atlases published in the west do not illustrate some of the pathologies we encounter in Asia; this publication therefore bridges that gap. ….this atlas will undoubtedly be a great companion to all young trainees and specialists interested in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.
