Preface

Although “potpourri” refers to a mixture or collection of unrelated items, the subject matters found in this volume of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy are anything but unrelated. In essence, these articles illustrate the diverse and innovative techniques used to diagnose and treat a number of important esophageal disorders. In the first article, Dr Richard Wood, from Duke University, discusses the novel uses of capsule endoscopy for imaging the esophagus and the benefits of the Bravo catheterless esophageal pH monitoring system for the diagnosis of GERD.
