Therapeutic Advances in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy · Published 2026-02-22 · DOI 10.1177/26317745251409064
Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy and visceral surgery have been tightly merging to change GI disease diagnosis and the course of treatment. In addition to facilitating minimally invasive therapeutic procedures and improving postoperative outcomes, this synergistic strategy increases diagnostic precision. Recent technical advancements, such as high-definition endoscopic imaging, robotic-assisted surgery, and artificial intelligence integration, have refined patient care. The historical development, current therapeutic application, interdisciplinary collaborations, and potential future directions of integrating endoscopy and visceral surgery are covered in this review. It also discusses the difficulties in putting advanced approaches into clinical practice, including the need for specialized training and ethical issues. It is important to fully realize how endoscopic and surgical cooperation could translate into GI healthcare.
