Endoscopic Evaluation

Operative Strategies in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

  • 137 Accesses

Abstract

The era of fiberoptic endoscopy began in 1958 when Hirschowitz reported the first gastroscopy using a semiflexible gastroscope, and in 1968 Arulliani reported the first complete examination of the colon. Since then the advances in gastrointestinal endoscopy have revolutionized evaluation and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Unlike radiology, endoscopy allows direct visualization of the mucosa and sampling of the tissue for histologic examination and assists in obtaining a definitive pathologic diagnosis.
