      abstract = {This book describes an up-to-date practical strategy for  the use of endoscopy in the evaluation and management of  pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).  All aspects of the role of endoscopy in Crohn’s disease  (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) – the two most common  types of IBD – are addressed. Readers will find detailed  information on its use in the initial diagnosis of IBD,  differentiation between CD and UC, assessment of disease  extent and activity, monitoring of response to therapy, and  surveillance for cancer and dysplasia. Attention is drawn  to specific clinical and endoscopic features of CD and UC  in the pediatric age group that serve to illustrate why the  child is not to be regarded merely as a small adult.  Helpful information is also supplied on equipment, patient  and parent preparation, and sedation. Endoscopy is  considered the best means of obtaining a definite diagnosis  in children who may have IBD, and this book will be of  value to practitioners at all levels of experience.},
