Interventional Endoscopy in Hepatology - Falk Symposium 2000 edition

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Publisher Marketing: Diagnostic and interventional endoscopy has made rapid progress in the last few years of the 20th century. Several methods are still under development and need to be properly evaluated. Bile duct diseases may have a negative impact on the liver, so early diagnosis and minimal invasive treatment options are important. Liver transplantation is now established for the treatment of liver failure. Hepatic surgery may lead to problems in the bile ducts which can be treated by endoscopic intervention. A broad spectrum of indications for interventional endoscopy in hepatology exists.
