Updates in Digestive Diseases and Endoscopy

Dear Colleagues,

The advancements in endoscopy during the current era are remarkable. Various diseases that have previously been difficult to diagnose or treat have become subjects of EGD, colonoscopy, ERCP, or EUS. Surgery is being replaced by auxiliary endoscopic methods like EMR and ESD in the resection of lesions with submucosal invasion. With the ever-increasing rates of obesity across the globe, endobariatric procedures are gaining popularity due to the data exhibiting excellent efficacy and safety. Artificial intelligence and many auxiliary techniques and devices used for the increasing of adenoma detection rates and the improving of the quality of colonoscopies have been major topics of discussion in recent years. Moreover, the novel developments in cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy have opened doors to great diagnostic and therapeutic areas. Third space endoscopic techniques like POEM have replaced surgery in the treatment of achalasia, gastroparesis, and many other diseases. These topics, in addition to any topics pertaining to endoscopy in terms of efficacy, safety, cost effectiveness, innovations, reviews, etc, are highly welcome for consideration to be published in this Special Issue.
