Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background and history of this topic: in recent years, ERCP and EUS connections have become more and more intense and now the two procedures are considered complementary, supporting the concept of “Biliopancreatic Endoscopy”. The advent of new technologies, instruments and devices has led us to face new indications and new questions.
Aim and scope of the Special Issue: this Special Issue is designed to deal with different aspects of the Biliopancreatic Endoscopy with special interest on recent advances in indications, techniques, and clinical and logistic implications.
Cutting-edge research: interventional EUS, EUS guided drainage, ERCP, and cholangioscopy.
What kind of papers we are soliciting: reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, case reports, research papers.
Dr. Andrea Anderloni
