Self-Expanding Stents in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Douglas G. Adler, MD, FACG, AGAF, FASGE received his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School. Dr. Adler completed both a general gastrointestinal fellowship and a therapeutic endoscopy/endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He then returned to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for a fellowship in endoscopic ultrasound. Dr. Adler is currently an Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of Therapeutic Endoscopy at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City. Working mostly out of the School of Medicine's Huntsman Cancer Institute, Dr. Adler's clinical, educational, and research efforts focus on the diagnosis and management of patients with gastrointestinal cancers, with an emphasis on therapeutic endoscopy. He is the author of more than 150 scientific publications and book chapters and editor of the previously published book Curbside Consultation in GI Cancer for the Gastroenterologist: 49 Clinical Questions.

“Both practicing and training endoscopists will find this book to be invaluable for its presentation of the updated clinical literature on gastrointestinal stents. Its concise tables and high quality images make it a ready source of information which should be among those select references easily accessible in the endoscopy suite.” -MedicalScienceBooks.com
