Abstract

Many gastrointestinal conditions that were previously treatable only by surgery can now be aggressively managed by endoscopy. Increasingly sophisticated instruments permit control of hemorrhage, obliteration and esophageal varices, polypectomy, and dilation of strictures. Integration with computer and ultrasound technology promises additional progress in diagnosis as well as in treatment.
