Flexible endoscopy is now a minimally invasive surgical tool, offering standard care for many gastrointestinal and colonic conditions. Future applications include natural orifice surgery, potentially eliminating external incisions.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Flexible endoscopy has transitioned from a purely diagnostic modality to a therapeutic surgical tool.
  • Endoluminal procedures are now standard care for various gastric, biliary, pancreatic, and colonic diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of flexible endoscopy.
  • To highlight current therapeutic applications and future potential in minimally invasive surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and technological advancements in flexible endoscopy.
  • Analysis of therapeutic endoluminal procedures and emerging endoscopic treatments.

Main Results:

  • Therapeutic endoluminal procedures are established treatments for numerous gastrointestinal and colonic conditions.
