Abstract
Since the last edition of this book, several significant advances have been made in the instruments used for endoscopy. This chapter is a brief review of some fundamental improvements that have occurred over the last 5–10 years. It specifically emphasizes those innovations that pertain to the esophagogastroduodenoscope and the colonoscope. Advances in specialty instruments such as endoscopic ultrasound equipment, duodenoscopes, and enteroscopes are not covered in this chapter so that the focus on broad-based improvements in endoscopes can be maintained. All major endoscope manufacturers that supply gastrointestinal endoscopes for the United States were contacted and asked if they would like to contribute a list of innovations that they have incorporated into their endoscopes in the last 5–10 years. The information provided by those companies is included in this chapter along with other notable innovations.
