Abstract
New medical technology and techniques provide opportunities for better, faster care for patients with esophageal diseases, spanning robotics and minimally invasive techniques, artificial intelligence, medical devices, and digital health that are changing how to diagnose and manage patients with both benign and malignant esophageal diseases. We conducted a concise narrative review of recent advances in esophagology from the perspectives of innovators and physicians alike, with an emphasis on ensuring the environment around successful innovation over the next decade. To our knowledge, this is the first innovation‐oriented review centered on the clinical field of esophagology, focusing on applicable content and knowledge gaps across the several individual domains covered in this review.
