Abstract
During a visit to the Hiroshima University Hospital in April of 2018, an endoscopist (GSR) observed and learned several facets from an ergonomically designed endoscopy unit which opened its doors to service in 2013. This review is a reflection of those observations during that visit, which might be helpful to a Western endoscopist.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
