From Diagnosis to Treatment: Endoscopy
Abstract
In order to help surgeons locate lesions that required excision and surgical therapy, gastroenterologists employed endoscopy to diagnose gastrointestinal (GI) lesions twenty years ago. The field of gastroenterology has progressed beyond the diagnostic phase, and many GI lesions can now be treated by gastroenterologists using endoluminal methods without the need for surgery.
