Abstract
Endoscopy emerged as a field of study as early as the 1800s with surgeons as significant innovators and visionaries from the beginning. Seminal work by surgeons has been instrumental in expanding both understanding and therapy of gastrointestinal diseases enhancing the care of patients. This review will explore the history of endoscopy in surgical practice, discuss the interfusion of endoscopic and intraperitoneal procedures, and advocate for the routine use of endoscopy in modern surgical practice.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
