Core Concepts in Colonoscopy covers all aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy, emphasizing overarching concepts that gastroenterology fellows and physicians must know to achieve success in both the technical and cognitive aspects of the procedure.

Core Concepts in Colonoscopy aims to address and convey the core concepts of colonoscopy: from the structure and function of the colonoscope itself, to insertion techniques, loop formation and reduction, polypectomy techniques for any situation, the avoidance and management of perforations and other adverse events, as well as advanced techniques including (but not limited to) endoscopic mucosal resection and colonic stenting.Each chapter inside Core Concepts in Colonoscopy is lavishly illustrated with multiple key images to accentuate and enhance the written text, as well as a plethora of tips, tricks, and accumulated points of wisdom in each chapter on all facets of colonoscopy.
