Abstract:

Nowadays with the rapid development of new technologies,digestive system endoscopy has been proven to be an effective device for treatment, rather than just a diagnostic tool. Such development plays a revolutionary role in diagnosis and treatment for digestive diseases. The invention of new endoscopic techniques, such as chromoendoscopy、magnifying endoscopy,fluorescence endoscopy, enables us to have further understanding of digestive diseases. The wide application of endoscopic interventions has provided safer, less invasive and cost-effective treatment. In this paper, we review the recent advances of endoscopic diagnosis and therapy for digestive diseases.

Key words: gastrointestinal endoscopy, digestive diseases, endoscopic intervention
