Advances in Endoscopy for Hepatic, Pancreatic, and Biliary Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, much progress has been made in the endoscopic management of hepatic, pancreatic, and biliary (HPB) diseases. Endohepatology, or interventional hepatology, is an evolving subspecialty; hepatic venous portal pressure gradient measurements are increasingly being used, and early data suggest that endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may improve metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. Lumen-apposing metal stents have also grown in popularity in the treatment of pancreatic and biliary disorders. In this Special Issue, we invite original research articles, review articles or others showcasing the basic or clinical sciences associated with endoscopy in HPB disorders.
