Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of contemporary endoscopy and colonoscopy occurred during the 1960s, signifying a considerable advancement in gastroenterology. The subsequent era has been characterized by significant progress, encompassing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), colonoscopy, deep enteroscopy, video capsule endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). These procedures have since become standard practices within routine medical protocols. Ongoing refinements have introduced high-definition endoscopes, diverse optical options, and sophisticated sampling methodologies, in addition to advancements such as spyglass technology and motorized enteroscopy. The integration of artificial intelligence and deep learning has facilitated breakthroughs in numerous aspects of gastrointestinal disease diagnosis, with multiple platforms currently employed within community-based practices, and their applications are consistently expanding. Accompanying this technological expansion, the gastroenterology community has also focused on developing practice and establishing clear guidelines regarding the quality outcomes of all the aforementioned procedures.
Consequently, therapeutic endoscopy has also expanded, diminishing the necessity for surgical interventions and facilitating broader applications in techniques such as peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEMS) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This progress has heralded a new era for postoperative endoscopic care and managing complications that may arise thereafter.
This Special Issue aims to disseminate reviews and research pertinent to advancements in Diagnostic Techniques and Endoscopic Management for Gastrointestinal Diseases.
