Challenges in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), is a book for gastroenterologists and surgeons, and for trainees who know the tried and tested information, but now want to know about the areas of controversy in this fast-moving area. Suitable for gastroenterologists, surgeons, and trainees who know the tried and tested information, but now want to know about the areas of controversy in this fast-moving area, this title focuses on modern issues, and covers various aspects. From a review of the first edition: "The editors and publishers have succeeded admirably in at least three respects... Firstly, they have assembled an all-star cast of contributors ... Secondly, they have constructed this monograph ingeniously. Each chapter title is phrased as a question, which is then examined critically with scores of references that are pertinent and up to date. As a third defining feature of this ambitious volume, the editors have demanded and received from their authors highly critical analyses of "the most recently available evidence." The authors analyse and interpret the evidence in ways that allow each chapter to reach reasonably well founded conclusions.
