ABSTRACT

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a technologic development of extraordinary application for the endoscopist. To be able to integrate this information and perform the procedure competently, the endoscopist requires a considerable degree of endoscopic expertise, knowledge of the anatomy of the whole chest and abdomen and ultrasonography. One of the most important advantages of EUS as a technique of imaging is the ability to place the imaging device in direct contact with a lesion. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) has been shown to be an effective modality for establishing a histologic diagnosis of primary malignant lesions within and adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract and for documenting the spread of malignancy to lymph nodes, evaluating fluid collections, assessing liver metastases, EUS-guided celiac blockade and more.
