Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of endoscopic procedures has been experiencing continuous advancement over the years, encompassing both diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. In the realm of diagnosis, technologies such as image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE), artificial intelligence (AI), magnified endoscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)/EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) have undergone significant innovation in recent years. Furthermore, in response to emerging infectious concerns, the field of single-use endoscopy has seen notable growth.
On the therapeutic front, techniques for the removal of gastrointestinal neoplasms, including polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and third space endoscopy (peroral myotomy, G-POEM, Z-POEM, and STER), as well as interventional EUS and ERCP, have rapidly evolved. Additionally, modalities such as endoscopic ablation (e.g., RFA, cryotherapy, and photodynamic therapy) and closure/suturing methods have been continuously refined with multiple innovations each year. Consequently, the diversity of procedures involved in endoscopic training poses challenges for both fellows and young attending gastroenterologists.
The aim of this Special Issue is to delve into endoscopy training and mentoring across the entire spectrum of endoscopy, covering a wide range of topics, and discuss strategies to enhance our daily practice of gastroenterology.
