Abstract
- Inflammatory bowel disease refers to a group of non-specific inflammatory illnesses affecting the gastrointestinal tract. According to pathogenic characteristics, it is divided into Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The exact cause and pathogenic mechanism of these disorders are not yet fully understood. In addition, there is currently no definitive diagnostic method for inflammatory bowel disease, which mainly depends on clinical symptoms, blood testing, imaging investigations, and endoscopic examination, which includes histology. Endoscopic Ultrasonography is a digestive tract examination technique that combines endoscopy and ultrasound. Compared to conventional endoscopy, it can visualize surface and deep lesions of the gastrointestinal wall, as well as provide information on the characteristics of the surrounding layers and nearby lymph nodes. Due to these advantages, Endoscopic Ultrasonography has played a significant role in the evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease in recent years. Through this work, we aim to identify the applications of this method in the case of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.<br />Competing Interests: Declarations.
