Abstract

The therapeutic armamentarium available to practitioners managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has expanded significantly in the past two decades. This rapid and dramatic increase in novel therapeutic options has effectively exposed the limitations of prior clinical management strategies and is driving an evolution of endpoints in pursuit of altering the natural history of disease. As the focus of IBD therapy evolves into disease modification to improve outcomes via effective personalized treatment strategies, modalities to objectively assess for evidence of mucosal healing and colitis-associated dysplasia are becoming increasingly utilized. Advances in endoscope technology have mirrored this evolution in management endpoints and are increasingly being used and developed to aid in the management of patients with IBD.
