Cover Story: Although widely used, standard endoscopy might miss subtle changes in GERD complications, such as early BE-related dysplasia or early cancer. However, advanced endoscopic imaging techniques, such as narrow-band endoscopy, high-resolution/high-magnification endoscopy, and wireless endoscopy, could potentially enhance diagnostic accuracy. Due to recent advances in endoscopic treatment, new techniques and approaches, such as electrical stimulation of anti-reflux mucosectomy, radiofrequency therapy, and many others, are now available and can be utilized to manage GERD and prevent complications in PPI-refractory GERD.
