Abstract

Two decades ago, gastroenterologists used endoscopy for the diagnosis of Gastrointestinal (GI) lesions, thereby helping surgeons to localize lesion that necessitated resection and treatment with surgery. Today, the gastroenterology field has advanced beyond the diagnostic era and now, a large number of GI lesions can be treated via endoluminal procedures performed by the gastroenterologist with no need for surgical intervention.
