Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digestive endoscopy has undergone significant transformation in recent years, driven by technological innovation and a growing emphasis on early detection and minimally invasive treatments. Traditional endoscopic procedures, once limited to diagnostic purposes, are now increasingly being used for therapeutic interventions, revolutionizing the management of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases.
Advanced imaging techniques have enhanced the visualization of mucosal patterns, allowing for more accurate detection of early neoplasia.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most exciting developments. It can assist endoscopists in the real-time detection and characterization of polyps and lesions, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing inter-operator variability. Additionally, advancements in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have expanded the possibilities for staging cancers, drainage procedures, and delivering targeted therapies.
Therapeutic innovations such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), and endoscopic bariatric procedures offer less invasive alternatives to surgery with shorter recovery times and fewer complications.
Overall, the field of digestive endoscopy is rapidly evolving, promising better outcomes, increased patient comfort, and enhanced precision in both the diagnosis and treatment of GI disorders.
