Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background and history of this topic: In recent years, the clinical applications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) have become increasing involved in everyday practice, and the endoscopists’ armamentarium is rapidly expanding due to endoscopic procedures becoming more complex and interventional, with a higher chance of dealing with different benign and malignant biliopancreatic conditions with a minimally invasive approach. In particular, EUS technology has progressed substantially, moving from a supplementary diagnostic add-on to a key modality in both the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of disorders.
Aim and scope of the Special Issue: Given the complexity of this topic and its impact on clinical practice and public health, Medicina is launching a Special Issue entitled “Latest Advances in Pancreatobiliary Endoscopy” with the aim of gathering accurate and up-to-date scientific information on all aspects of the endoscopic management of benign and malignant conditions.
What kind of papers we are soliciting: narrative and systematic reviews, original manuscripts.
