• Provides a comprehensive overview of what is known regarding the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic considerations and treatment options for gastroparesis
• Includes key updates made in the last decade, including the progress made by the NIH Gastroparesis Consortium
• Presents both sides of key controversies in the field, including the debate between classification of gastroparesis versus functional dyspepsia
• Fully reviews the major advances in pharmacologic agents for therapy, both anti-emetics and prokinetics
• Extensive update on the "Pyloric Revolution" and our understanding of the pathophysiology of gastroparesis and how the focus on the pylorus has literally transformed our treatment strategy with an emphasis on both surgical and endoscopic advances in addressing pyloric dysfunction
