✦ Synopsis
Book reviews
The remainder of the book is devoted to a critical appraisal of generalized and localized gastrointestinal dysmotility and abnormalities in motility associated with specific clinical syndromes. I was particularly impressed with these sections, in which the authors approach each aspect of gastrointestinal dysmotility in a refreshingly objective and logical manner. My only criticism would be the omission of motility dysfunction as a contributory factor in the pathogenesis of gastrooesophageal reflux disease. Despite such minor omissions, this is an invaluable book for gastrointestinal surgeons and trainees, particularly those with a research interest in motility, as a source of information and reference.
