The 11th OESO World Conference
Reflux Disease, Volume 1300
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
This volume is the eleventh published from a conference
sponsored by the World Organization for Specialized Studies on
Diseases of the Esophagus (OESO) and the second to be published
in Annals. As with the preceding publications, the
present one follows a world conference of OESO; in this case, a
conference entitled "Reflux disease, from LES to UES, and
beyond," held in Como, Italy. Collectively, the papers
present the wealth of ideas and knowledge covered by the four-day
OESO conference on esophagology, with each paper showcasing the
responses provided by top experts to precise questions during the
sessions of the conference.
NOTE: Annals volumes are available for sale as
individual books or as a journal. For more information on
