Murine Endoscopy for In Vivo Multimodal Imaging of Carcinogenesis and Assessment of Intestinal Wound Healing and Inflammation
Published on: August 26, 2014
Abstract:
Our own endoscopic experience in surgical gastroenterology is based on 5000 esophago-gastro-duodenoscopies, 650 coloscopies and 1200 endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreaticographies. Endoscopic diagnosis and therapy is pre-, intra-, and postoperatively well established today. Improvements of preoperative diagnosis in certain surgical diseases let hope for further successes in this field. Endoscopic procedures and operations reduce the patient's risks to a minimum. Well established endoscopic technique may substitute and support certain surgical procedures.
