About this title

Review:

" This is a masterpiece of its kind. The authors should be complimented for their successful effort to provide such an important and fascinating book.”

"This book undoubtedly represents the ′state–of–the–art′ in colonoscopy [...] The language is as clear as only great experts can use, the iconography (all in colour) is superb, the bibliography up to date and precise. The editorial presentation is excellent and warrants the price. Very rarely has the reviewer examined a monograph devoted not to a disease but to a single technique which has impressed him so much for its clarity, completeness, attractiveness and – if it is allowed – its fascination."
