Clinical Esophagology and Transnasal Esophagoscopy
Author: Peter C. Belafsky
Publisher: Plural Publishing
ISBN: 1944883924
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Clinical Esophagology and Transnasal Esophagoscopy is a comprehensive book covering the diagnosis and management of esophageal disorders for dysphagia clinicians. Nearly two thirds of people with solid food dysphagia will have an esophageal contribution to their swallowing complaint. One third of those with cervical dysphagia will have an esophageal etiology for their symptom. It is essential that all dysphagia clinicians have an advanced knowledge of the esophageal phase of deglutition. Some of the most common causes of solid food dysphagia include gastroesophageal reflux disease and reflux esophagitis, esophageal webs and rings, allergic (eosinophilic) esophagitis, and hiatal hernia. This book addresses the educational needs of otolaryngologists and speech-language pathologists and will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians of all educational backgrounds and training levels.
