RESUMO
Gastroenterology, hepatology and digestive endoscopy are rapidly evolving disciplines with significant advances in the diagnostics and treatment in the entire gastrointestinal tract. The aim of our article was to summarize new perspectives on relevant situations in gastroenterology and hepatology like acute pancreatitis, functional dyspepsia, rational indication of proton pump inhibitors, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), cholestatic liver diseases, alcohol induced hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty live disease (NAFLD) and patophysiology of bilirubin and bile acids. Digestive endoscopy represents an interventional part of gastroenterology and key recent topics are mentioned like pancreatic cancer screening, arteficial intelligence, resection of low-risk neoplastic lesions, enteroscopy techniques, cholangio- and pancreatiscopy and extraluminal expansion of endoscopy techniques by means of endoscopic submucosal and transmural dissection, endoscopic myotomy and lumen apposing stents.
