The role of advanced endoscopy in the field of hepatology has evolved rapidly over the last decade. Several novel diagnostic and therapeutic interventions can now be accomplished endoscopically both easily and safely in patients with liver disease; these include endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided liver biopsy, EUS-guided measurement of the portal pressure gradient, EUS-guided therapy for gastric varices, and EUS elastography. This article highlights advances in endoscopic tools and techniques that can be applied in the field of hepatology.
在过去十年中，先进内镜技术在肝病学领域的作用迅速发展。如今，对于肝病患者，几种新型诊断和治疗干预措施都可以在内镜下轻松且安全地完成；这些措施包括内镜超声（EUS）引导下的肝活检、EUS引导下门静脉压力梯度测量、EUS引导下胃静脉曲张治疗以及EUS弹性成像。本文重点介绍了可应用于肝病学领域的内镜工具和技术的进展。
