Do you regularly manage patients with GERD?

Need a practical tool to guide you through best patient care and management?

The book is divided into three parts:

• An overview of GERD, including pathophysiology, diagnosis, general management strategies and side effects from medical and surgical GERD therapies
• Management of specific clinical presentations such as Refractory GERD, Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, Noncardiac Chest Pain, and GERD-Related Dysphagia
• Barrett’s Esophagus and GERD, including diagnosis, surveillance and treatment options

With a strong focus on the clinical management of GERD and with contributions from the world’s leading authorities on the topic, Practical Manual of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease is the perfect tool for the modern day gastroenterologist - both at specialist level and in training – managing this extremely prevalent condition.
