Abstract

The roles of flexible endoscopy in the setting of inflammatory bowel disease include diagnosis, surveillance, and determining response to treatment and monitoring for the development of recurrence, dysplasia, or malignancy. Advanced techniques, such as chromoendoscopy and narrow band imaging, can be useful adjuncts when performing endoscopy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. There are several roles for therapeutic endoscopy in the setting of inflammatory bowel disease, including endoscopic balloon dilation and endoscopic stricturotomy.
