Latest Advances in Therapeutic Endoscopy

Dear Colleagues, 

Endoscopy has long been a diagnostic tool for the detection of benign or malignant lesions requiring further medical, endoscopic or surgical management. The technological developments of recent years enabled therapeutic endoscopy to take on an increasingly important role in the management of digestive diseases. The endoscopist is able to cross the border of the digestive lumen to perform minimally invasive procedures in different settings.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive view of new techniques of minimally invasive endoscopy. Contributions may therefore concern endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), endoscopic myotomy (POEM), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainages or anastomosis, ablative therapies, bariatric endoscopy and endoscopic treatment of surgical complications. Original research with focus on latest advances on therapeutic endoscopy (e.g., new devices or techniques) will be of main interest for the readers of this issue.

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.
