The Gastro Camera was developed in the 1950s, and since then, improvements have been made from the Fiberscope to the Videoscope, and now it is the era of high-definition electronic endoscopes such as optical magnification, image-enhance endoscopy (IEE), and endocytoscopic diagnosis.
The progress of endoscopic treatment has started from polypectomy to the development of ESD through the era of EMR along with the progress of diagnostic endoscopy.
Although there is debate about indications, the era of full-thickness resection, which is being advanced in the United States and China, will come, and AI and robot technology will be applied to endoscopic treatment in the near future.
