Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of digestive endoscopy in modern gastroenterology continues to expand rapidly, driven by advances in both diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Innovations in enhanced imaging, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted lesion detection and characterization, and the refinement of advanced resection methods have significantly improved the identification and organ-sparing treatment of gastrointestinal neoplasia. At the same time, third-space endoscopy and interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) have broadened the therapeutic reach of the endoscopist to conditions previously managed by surgery.
This Special Issue aims to explore the evolving role of endoscopy in addressing key clinical challenges across the full spectrum of gastrointestinal diseases. Topics of interest include: endoscopic management of early gastrointestinal neoplasia, advanced resection techniques, third-space endoscopy, diagnostic and therapeutic applications of EUS, endoscopic approach to pancreaticobiliary disease, management of post-surgical complications and luminal defects, and integration of AI and emerging technologies into clinical practice.
We invite researchers and clinicians to contribute original studies that advance current knowledge and highlight innovation in diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy.
We warmly welcome original retrospective and prospective clinical studies and comprehensive reviews, as well as expert contributions that demonstrate how recent endoscopic advances are reshaping the future of gastroenterological care and clinical practice.
