In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to gastrointestinal endoscopy practice. This technology has rapidly evolved across various aspects, from lesion detection to clinical decision-making. Its presence not only improves the quality of examinations but also increasingly supports daily clinical practice. One of the most widely
Endoscopy has become a cornerstone of modern gastroenterology, serving both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. As endoscopic procedures continue to grow in complexity, the need for structured and effective training systems has become increasingly important to ensure operator competence and patient safety. In the article “Theories of Educational Strategies for Endoscopy,” written by
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for periampullary duodenal lesions is known to be technically challenging. Because of its close proximity to the papilla, this procedure carries a risk of post-procedural pancreatitis. Such complications may arise from mechanical trauma, thermal injury during dissection, or inadvertent obstruction of pancreatic duct outflow during mucosal defect closure.
