Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last decade has seen a unique rise in advanced endoscopy, with the advent of novel techniques and devices that have permitted novel procedures that were formerly impossible. Whether in therapeutic endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography, third space endoscopy, or endobariatric endoscopy, the limits of what can be achieved endoscopically are being advanced on a daily basis. It is now clear that in the near future, many procedures that are currently performed by surgery or interventional radiology will be performed endoscopically. A variety of minimally invasive procedures are and will be performed totally internally without external scars. This Special Issue will summarize the current state of those techniques and will offer a glimpse into the future of advanced endoscopy.
