Abstract:
The year 2024 was rich in developments in the field of hepatology, gastroenterology, and interventional endoscopy. New molecules have been developed for the treatment of metabolic steatohepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Technological progress now makes it possible to perform screening measurements for portal hypertension directly under echo-endoscopic guidance and to extend the use of intraluminal stents to surgically modified anatomies. Several new recommendations have also been issued, including some for the nutritional management of inflammatory diseases, the management of polypoid lesions, and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms.
