Important note: Medicine is an ever-changing science undergoing continual development. Research and clinical experience are continually expanding our knowledge, in particular our knowledge of proper treatment and drug therapy. Insofar as this book mentions any dosage or application, readers may rest assured that the authors, editors, and publishers have made every effort to ensure that such references are in accordance with the state of knowledge at the time of production of the book.

Nevertheless, this does not involve, imply, or express any guarantee or responsibility on the part of the publishers in respect to any dosage instructions and forms of applications stated in the book. Every user is requested to examine carefully the manufacturers leaflets accompanying each drug and to check, if necessary in consultation with a physician or specialist, whether the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manufacturers differ from the statements made in the present book. Such examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on the market. Every dosage schedule or every form of application used is entirely at the users own risk and responsibility. The authors and publishers request every user to report to the publishers any discrepancies or inaccuracies noticed. If errors in this work are found after publication, errata will be posted at www.thieme.com on the product description page.

In Memory of Dr. Lauren Battat Gerson

We mourn the untimely demise of our colleague Dr. Lauren Battat Gerson, who passed away on July 21, 2017. Lauren contributed to the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy in so many ways, including as an associate editor for this book. She will be remembered for all the lives she touched and patients she cared for. A memorial article was published in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, volume 86, issue 4, pages 57980.

We proudly present the third edition of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, 15 years after the first and 8 years after the second edition. This book, founded by Professors Classen, Tytgat, and Lightdale, now passes the torch to a second generation of editors. It nonetheless continues the tradition of excellence, depth, and breadth that its founding editors started. We strive to continue publishing the leading reference in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy. Professors Fockens, Sung, and Wallace have brought together an outstanding team of associate editors: Todd Baron, Michael Bourke, Nicholas Shaheen, Nageshwar (Nagy) Reddy, and Lauren Gerson. After completion of the book, but prior to its publication, we were tremendously saddened by the sudden passing of Dr. Gerson, whose contribution carries on with the book. A memoriam to Dr. Gerson appears in the opening pages of this book.

The list of contributing authors is a whos who of endoscopy. We are fortunate to have both, senior masters and new innovators. In the preface to the second edition, the new procedures of the day were NOTES, ESD, and advanced imaging. Much has passed since 2010. NOTES (natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery) has largely waned, but it led endoscopy into the third space, the submucosa between the lumen and the outside (intra-abdominal) world. Submucosal endoscopy enabled POEMS (per-oral endoscopic myotomy surgery) for achalasia and its new variations, gastric-POEMS (for gastroparesis) and STER (submucosal tunnel endoscopic resection), for subepithelial tumors. New devices such as over-the-scope clips have enabled safe closure of full-thickness defects. Initially, these were applied to unplanned perforations and bleeding, but as we became increasingly confident of closure, they enabled planned full-thickness resection of tumors and even tissue sampling of the gastroenteric nervous system, which further opens new methods of research and treatment. Endoscopic resection by EMR and ESD is now practiced worldwide with refinements in devices and techniques to make it easier and safer while still preserving its efficacy. A major recent advancement in endoscopy was the development of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS), initially for drainage of pancreatic fluid collections. Like NOTES, LAMS have opened a new world of possibilities to endoscopists including EUS-guided biliary drainage directly from lumen to bile duct (not retrograde through the papilla). Lumen-to-lumen apposition has opened the way for gastroenteric bypass in duodenal obstruction (or double biliary and duodenal bypass in the case of double obstruction from pancreatic head tumors). Creative endoscopists, driven by patients needs, developed methods of biliary access in patients with surgically altered anatomy through a variety of transluminal routes. It is remarkable to witness the impact of new technology (LAMS, clips) and techniques (POEMS, NOTES) on unanticipated downstream innovations. These are truly disruptive events, all captured in the third edition.
