Overview

Endoscopic techniques are minimally invasive procedures that use an endoscope, a flexible or rigid instrument bearing illumination, optics, and a working channel, to visualise the interior of body cavities and hollow organs and to perform diagnostic and therapeutic interventions without open access. Introduced through natural orifices or small incisions, endoscopy permits direct inspection of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory and urinary systems, paranasal sinuses, and other regions, with the capacity for biopsy, resection, lithotripsy, dilation, haemostasis, and reconstruction. Compared with conventional open surgery, endoscopic approaches can reduce tissue trauma, pain, and recovery time while improving access to anatomically confined sites. Their effective use depends on detailed anatomical knowledge, such as the location and dimensions of sinus ostia, and on accurate tissue diagnosis from endoscopically obtained specimens. Applications span endoscopic stone management in the urinary tract, evaluation and treatment of oesophageal and gastric disease, sinonasal and skull-base procedures, and the histopathological assessment of biopsy material. The peer-reviewed research collected under this topic addresses endoscopic lithotripsy of urinary calculi, sinus anatomy relevant to endoscopic access, granulomatous gastritis and oesophagitis identified at endoscopy, nasal and paranasal pathology, and the analysis of biopsy specimens, reflecting endoscopy's dual role as both a diagnostic window and a platform for targeted, organ-sparing intervention across multiple surgical and medical disciplines.
