Updates on Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to the evolution of technology, gastrointestinal endoscopy is constantly improving. As a result, we are always seeing new instruments and therapeutic possibilities. On this front, there is in fact a considerable push from patients, who ask for minimally invasive treatments, and from the industry in the biomedical field, which sees a profitable field of application. The purpose of this volume is to keep gastrointestinal endoscopists up to date on novelties, particularly in the therapeutic field, trying to clarify what is acquired and what is still to be defined on the new methods of gastrointestinal endoscopy and their indications and applications in the clinical setting.

We call for papers on the following subjects: endoscopic submucosal dissection, new techniques, full-thickness endoscopic resection, POEM (peroral endoscopic myotomy), G-POEM, Z-POEM, STER (submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection), endoscopic gastro-jejunal anastomosis with lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS), endoscopic bariatric procedures, EUS-guided procedures (pancreatic pseudocyst drainage, alcoholization), new ERCP procedures (spyglass, DASE…), endoscopic ablative treatments, gastrointestinal wall closure techniques.
