Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to the evolution of technology, gastrointestinal endoscopy is constantly improving. As a result, we are always seeing new instruments and therapeutic possibilities. On this front, there is in fact a considerable push from patients, who ask for minimally invasive treatments, and from the industry in the biomedical field, which sees a profitable field of application. The purpose of this volume is to keep gastrointestinal endoscopists up to date on novelties, particularly in the therapeutic field, trying to clarify what is acquired and what is still to be defined on the new methods of gastrointestinal endoscopy and their indications and applications in the clinical setting.

We call for papers on the following subjects: endoscopic submucosal dissection, new techniques, full-thickness endoscopic resection, POEM (peroral endoscopic myotomy), G-POEM, Z-POEM, STER (submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection), endoscopic gastro-jejunal anastomosis with lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS), endoscopic bariatric procedures, EUS-guided procedures (pancreatic pseudocyst drainage, alcoholization), new ERCP procedures (spyglass, DASE…), endoscopic ablative treatments, gastrointestinal wall closure techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Traditional methods have their limitations when it comes to unraveling the mysteries of the small bowel, an area historically seen as the “black box” of the gastrointestinal tract. This is where capsule endoscopy and enteroscopy have stepped in, offering a remarkable synergy that transcends the sum of their individual capabilities. From their introduction, small bowel capsule endoscopy and device-assisted enteroscopy have consistently evolved and improved, both on their own and interdependently. Each technique’s history may be told as a success story, and their interaction has revolutionized the approach to the small bowel. Both have advantages that could be ideally combined into a perfect technique: safe, non-invasive, and capable of examining the entire small bowel, taking biopsies, and applying therapeutical interventions. Until the realization of this perfect tool becomes a reality, the key for an optimal approach lies in the right selection of exploration method. In this article, we embark on a journey through the intertwined development of capsule endoscopy and enteroscopy, exploring the origins, technological advancements, clinical applications, and evolving inquiries that have continually reshaped the landscape of small bowel imaging.

It is well known by surgeons that patient positioning is fundamental to exposing the organs when performing an operation via laparoscopy, as gravity can help move the organs and facilitate the exposure of the surgical site. But is it also important for endoscopic procedures? This paper examines various types of endoscopic operations and addresses the issue of the patient’s position. The patient’s position can be changed not only by rotating the patient along the head–toe axis but also by tilting the surgical bed, as is undertaken during laparoscopic surgical procedures. In particular, it is useful to take into account the effect of gravity on lesion exposure, tumour traction during dissection, crushing by body weight, risk of sample drop, risk of damage to adjacent organs, and anatomical exposure for procedures with radiological support. The endoscopist should always keep in mind the patient’s anatomy and the position of the endoscope during operative procedures, not limited to considering only intraluminal vision. Full article
