Review of the 2017 European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Guidelines for Endoscopic Ultrasound - Guided Sampling in Pancreaticobiliary Lesions

Abstract

EUS currently plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases. In addition, EUS-guided sampling has been applied to pancreaticobiliary lesions for the accurate diagnosis of pancreaticobiliary lesions. Many new instruments and studies for EUS-guided sampling are being developed and attempted. This review introduces and summarizes the key recommendations made in the recent guideline for EUS-guided sampling developed by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
