Advanced Endoscopy and Imaging in Gastrointestinal Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Advanced Endoscopy and Imaging in Gastrointestinal Diseases”, aims to bring together recent developments in endoscopic techniques and imaging technologies that are shaping the future of gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery. Over the past decade, advances in high-definition endoscopy, enhanced imaging techniques, and minimally invasive interventions have significantly expanded our ability to detect early pathological changes, improve diagnostic accuracy, and guide targeted therapies. These innovations allow for more precise lesion characterization, facilitate early intervention, reduce the need for more invasive procedures, guide you better in surgeries, and ultimately enhance patient safety and recovery.

Beyond diagnosis, advanced endoscopic approaches are increasingly applied in therapeutic contexts, from resection techniques to image-guided interventions that minimize operative risk. At the same time, novel imaging strategies provide crucial support for surgical planning, enabling better intraoperative decision-making and improving outcomes in complex gastrointestinal disease management.

By bringing together original research, clinical studies, and expert reviews, this issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of how modern endoscopy and imaging are being integrated into everyday practice. The ultimate goal is to highlight their role in advancing the quality, precision, and safety of gastrointestinal treatment, both medical and surgical, while underscoring the benefits for patients and clinical teams alike.
