The transcendence of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) from diagnostic to therapeutic tool has revolutionized management options in the field of gastroenterology. Through EUS-guided methods, pancreaticobiliary obstruction can now be utilized as an alternative to surgical and percutaneous approaches. This modality also allows for gallbladder drainage in patients who are not ideal operative candidates. By utilizing its unique imaging capabilities, EUS also allows for drainage access points in cases of gastric outlet obstruction as well as windows to ablate pancreatic cystic lesions. As technical progress continues to evolve, interventional gastroenterology continues to push the envelope of minimally invasive therapeutic procedures in a multidisciplinary setting. In this comprehensive review, we set out to describe current indications and innovations through EUS.

治疗性内窥镜超声：当前适应症和未来展望

超声内镜 (EUS) 从诊断工具到治疗工具的超越彻底改变了胃肠病学领域的管理选择。通过超声内镜引导的方法，胰胆梗阻现在可以作为手术和经皮方法的替代方法。这种方式还允许对不适合手术的患者进行胆囊引流。通过利用其独特的成像功能，EUS 还可以在胃出口梗阻的情况下提供引流入口，以及消融胰腺囊性病变的窗口。随着技术的不断发展，介入胃肠病学继续在多学科环境中推动微创治疗程序的发展。在这篇全面的综述中，我们着手描述 EUS 的当前适应症和创新。
