Innovations in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: Impacts on Diagnosis and Surgery (ReachMD)

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is advancing with probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE), achieving 100% sensitivity in adenocarcinoma detection (Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery). Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols cut hospital stays by 30% and boost patient satisfaction to 90% (Journal of Colorectal Surgery). To combat hypoxemia in sedated procedures, nasal clips with nasal cannulas have reduced cases from 25% to 17.7% (BMC Anesthesiology). These innovations are setting new standards in diagnostics, recovery, and patient safety—reshaping GI care.
