Synopsis

The most recent data on all aspects of chronic pancreatitis are brought together in this comprehensive book. Etiology, morphology, pathophysiology as well as conservative and operative treatment are discussed by leading authorities. Both surgeons and gastroenterologists contribute information based on experimental and clinical research. Special attention is paid to the topics of feed-back regulation, the state-of-the-art in interventional treatment protocols, and the role of surgery especially in organ-preserving procedures. Some of the aspects presented are still controversial, yet precisely this debate will stimulate further investigation and lead specialists to a more concise concept of chronic pancreatitis.
