Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Interventions
  • Esophageal Diseases

Background:

  • Therapeutic endoscopy of the esophagus has significantly expanded by the late 20th century.
  • The medical literature increasingly focuses on comparative analyses of endoscopic procedures.
  • Key areas include treatment of strictures, variceal bleeding, and Barrett esophagus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review major published studies on endoscopic interventions in the esophagus.
  • To analyze the effectiveness and long-term outcomes of various endoscopic therapies.
  • To identify trends in nonoperative esophageal therapeutics.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive review of major published studies from 1999.
  • Inclusion of selected abstracts on endoscopic esophageal interventions.
