Abstract

Much of the time spent in gastrointestinal endoscopy is devoted to tissue sampling. For this reason, efforts to facilitate tissue diagnosis can greatly influence the overall efficiency of endoscopy. This overview reviews the steps involved in tissue sampling and highlights potential ways to achieve increased efficiency in tissue sampling. Both potential improvements in process and innovations in technology are considered.
