Abstract:

In recent years, with the rapid development of digestive endoscopy technology, new endoscopic diagnosis and treatment techniques and methods for gallbladder diseases have emerged, showing unique advantages, vitality and good application prospects. It can be predicted that the diagnosis and treatment of gallbladder diseases in the future will be more diversified and more minimally invasive, and the diagnosis and treatment strategy will be more individual rather than "one-size-fits-all". Endoscopic gallbladder technology is expected to become another important method after the era of laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, or even a milestone method. Although the current gallbladder endoscopy technology is still in the development stage, it still faces many problems and challenges. However, opportunities often coexist with challenges, and this trend seems unstoppable in any case.

Key words: Endoscopy, Gallbladder surgery, Minimally invasive surgery, Innovation
