Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of endoscopy has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in recent years. Besides ‘traditional’ endoscopic procedures (esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography), advances in imaging technology (endoscopic ultrasonography, wireless capsule endoscopy, dye and optical chromoendoscopy and double balloon enteroscopy) have allowed GI specialists to detect and manage disorders throughout the digestive system. Likewise, gastrointestinal surgery has similarly progressed to include better preoperative evaluations, improved surgical techniques, and postoperative treatment regimens.

High-quality research in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy and surgery is highly relevant and needed. For this Special Issue, we are interested in publishing articles focusing on all aspects of gastrointestinal endoscopy and surgery including but not limited to general endoscopy, advanced procedures such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), deep enteroscopy, chromoendoscopy, and videocapsule endoscopy, to name a few. Likewise, research advancing gastrointestinal surgery including minimally invasive surgery would be a welcome addition to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Background and aims: With the development of narrow-band imaging (NBI) in the endoscopic evaluation of patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE), the role of random biopsies according to the Seattle protocol (SP) has been questioned. We aim to compare the utility of advanced imaging to SP in patients with BE. Methods: A prospective cohort of patients with proven BE was retrospectively analyzed. All biopsies were reviewed by an expert GI pathologist. Advanced imaging was tandemly used with SP in each endoscopic procedure. Results: A total of 155 out of 340 patients (45.5%) with BE were diagnosed with dysplasia during a median follow-up of 4.7 years (IQR 3.4–6.1 years) and were part of the statistical analysis. A total of 82 patients had a diagnosis of dysplasia at presentation, whereas 84 patients developed dysplasia during follow up. A total of 67 out of 82 patients with dysplasia at presentation (81.7%), and 65 out of 84 patients that were diagnosed with dysplasia during follow-up (77.4%) were diagnosed using SP. In addition, whereas all the events of EAC were diagnosed using targeted biopsies, 57.1% of the events of HGD and 86.3% of LGD were diagnosed using SP. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate the significance of SP in the detection of low- and high-grade dysplasia in patients with BE. SP should remain the mainstay of endoscopic surveillance in this population. Full article
