Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has evolved in recent years, providing game-changing advantages in diagnosis and treatment by incorporating new devices, techniques and technological advances. The quality improvement in endoscopic views and the introduction of adjuvant tools, such as digital chromoendoscopy, endo-microscopy and artificial intelligence, have optimized visual diagnosis and targeted sampling in the broad field of luminal and pancreatobiliary pathologies. Moreover, the spectrum of therapeutic endoscopy has increased with new innovations which provide the potential for minimally invasive endo-surgical interventions from the esophagus to the rectum, including bariatrics, full thickness resections and pancreatobiliary interventions, even in patients with altered anatomy. This Special Issue aims to summarize the current diagnostic and therapeutic abilities and present the emerging approaches in GI endoscopy.
