Abstract
Background: Gastrointestinal endoscopes are essential for diagnosing and treating digestive disorders, although some drawbacks exist, such as patient discomfort and sedation.
Methods: Disposable, minimally invasive gastrointestinal endoscopes have garnered attention among endoscopists due to portability, improved patient comfort, and lack of post-procedural requirements. This innovation shows potential as an alternative to traditional endoscopy methods, with several studies confirming efficacy and safety in clinical settings.
Results: This review discusses the latest advances and ongoing research involving disposable gastrointestinal endoscopes with a focus on technological enhancements, patient outcomes, and the practical implications of integration into standard medical procedures.
Conclusions: Examining these developments provides a comprehensive analysis of the current disposable gastrointestinal endoscope technology status and future potential, emphasizing the role in enhancing patient care and procedural efficiency in gastroenterology.
