by the most active and experienced practitioners in the field of endoscopy, and cover all the important aspects of
endoscopic findings and treatment modalities, from the basics of endoscopy to therapeuticendoscopy. An important aspect
of this book is the detailed description of various gastrointestinal diseases. Theincluded information and algorithms
are the most up-to-date available.

been described in detail
ㆍ Direct observation of many endoscopic pictures of a wide variety of disorders is provided
ㆍ Providing examples of cases that are essentially the same disease but may be presented in various differentforms, or
have similar endoscopic features but need differential diagnosis
ㆍ All of the necessary instruments and examination techniques, as well as guidelines on preparation,
relatedmedications, complications, and more.

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, Colonoscopy
2 It has been almost 50 years since endoscopy was introduced. Since then, the science and art of the
endoscopictechnique has been continuously progressing both diagnostically and as a treatment modality. Thisprogress has
opened up new avenues of particularly in recent years, the progression in endoscopic imaginghas resulted in high
quality images that were hitherto impossible to achieve, which also aided diagnosis. Furthermore,the advances have
included minimally invasive endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic resection,hemostasis, and bougination of
stricture, which have replaced the need for surgical interventions.
While these advances are impressive and laudable, endoscopy remains a very person-dependent intervention,in which the
degree of diagnostic evaluation may vary widely according to the knowledge and experienceof the endoscopist. Because of
this, ongoing education is necessary concerning the different and varieddiseases that can be diagnosed and treated
through endoscopy, and mastery of the technique.
While endoscopic examination is widely-practiced in Korea, no endoscopic atlas has yet been published toprovide aid or
reference to residents and general practitioners. The Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopyis proud to publish
this volume, entitled『Atlas of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 』, which relies on highquality
endoscopic pictures and cases presented in past seminars and scientific programmes to provide stateof-the-art
information on endoscopy.
This book is divided into two parts: upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy. The entries havebeen authored,
by the most active and experienced practitioners in the field of endoscopy, and cover all theimportant aspects of
endoscopic findings and treatment modalities, from the basics of endoscopy to therapeutic
endoscopy. An important aspect of this book is the detailed description of various gastrointestinal diseases;
this includes over 2,000 photographs taken of actual endoscopy cases. The included information andalgorithms are the
most up-to-date available. Although the intended audience for this book are residents andgeneral practitioners, it may
also be of interest to endoscopists because much practical information and ‘tricksof the trade’ provided by skilled
specialists from all relevant fields are included in a neatly organized manner.
The Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is dedicated to the provision of science data of excellence, to
improve the quality of endoscopy offered in Korea, and to provide education that will aid in the improvementof national
health. The publication of this atlas is tangible evidence of our commitment to these aims.
We thank the all authors who worked so diligently to provide this document in such a short period of time.
We also wish to express our sincere thanks to the compilation committee and the editor of the compilation, professor
Sun Joo Kim, for all their efforts during the preparation of this book.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is one of the fastest evolving areas in medicine, and is essential in the diagnosisand
treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. In an era when medical knowledge is constantly accumulatingand treatment
approaches are evolving, the need for acquisition of information and mastery of endoscopyskills for doctors
specializing in endoscopy is essential and crucial. Over its 35-year history, The Korean Societyof Gastrointestinal
Endoscopy has annually provided up-to-date medical information, including hostingvarious seminars and scientific
programmes that aid in the delivery of relevant medical information to thesocieties’ over 5,000 members.
In assessing the delivery of our educational programmes, it became clear that our members lacked a onestopresource that
provided real pictures from everyday practice. Such information would be invaluable formany doctors, from residents who
first encounter endoscopy to general practitioners who diagnose and/or treattheir patients using gastrointestinal
endoscopy. The result is the『Atlas of GastrointestinalEndoscopy 』.
This book coherently and extensively summarizes different therapeutic interventions as well as variousendoscopic
findings of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. In particular, direct observation of many endoscopicpictures of
a wide variety of disorders is provided. Reader education is aided by providing examplesof cases that are essentially
the same disease but may be presented in various different forms, or have similarendoscopic features but need
differential diagnosis. This sort of information will prove valuable in the realworldof patient care.
In addition, summary and treatment guidelines for each disease are clearly presented in the same formatfor each
condition for ease of comprehension, and all aspects of quality management needed in the endoscopyroom including
disinfection and patient management have been described in detail. We hope this bookwill aid in the management and
study of all endoscopists in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Finally, we wish to express our sincere thanks to the team leaders and all 27 writing staffs who worked sodiligently
for over a year to bring this valuable resource to fruition.
