Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pancreaticobiliary endotherapy is a dynamically developing field of gastrointestinal endoscopy, and as a minimally invasive technique offers many advantages for patients with disorders of the pancreas and biliary tract, both benign and malignant. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) allows us to approach the pancreas and biliary ducts via extra-anatomical access, as opposed to traditional anatomical and transluminal approaches, using conventional endoscopic techniques during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). These are examples of new possibilities that can prompt further scientific research in the field of pancreaticobiliary endotherapy. Many aspects of these techniques still require further clarification and trials. The main goals of the Special Issue are to create a platform for discussion on the current needs of pancreaticobiliary endoscopy and to present to the reader current understanding in multiple areas of pancreaticobiliary endotherapy.
