Innovation in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Dear Colleagues,

Gastrointestinal endoscopy covers both diagnosis and therapy. Due to its diagnostic accuracy and minimal invasiveness, several innovations have been made within the last several years, including artificial intelligence and endoscopic tumor resection.

The presently announced Special Issue entitled “Innovation in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy” will encompass research articles, case presentations, literature reviews, and meta-analyses concerning the latest advancements in the field.

This Special Issue aims to enhance the learning interface for newly trained gastroenterologists, experienced gastroenterologists and endoscopists in general who want to know about more advanced procedures such as endoscopic ultrasound-guided interventions, endoscopic dissection, and other advanced techniques.

This Special Issue will explore, but is not restricted to, the following topics:

• Endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling and interventions such as newer lumen-apposing metal stents;
• Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography;
• Endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection;
• Screening and diagnostic colonoscopy;
• Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of reflux disease and achalasia.

We hope that the published data will contribute to scientific discussion concerning these global health problems.
