Abstract
The concept of endoscopic lumen apposition has seen a dramatic shift in the last several decades. Early natural orifice trans-luminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) concepts have transformed into specialized lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) and delivery devices, which provide endoscopists a minimally invasive alternative to surgical intervention. These LAMSs have become the bedrock of therapeutic endoscopy and provide treatment for a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal disorders. In this review, we summarize the changing landscape of therapeutic endoscopy by highlighting the use of LAMS and future directions as well as alternative devices to achieve lumen apposition.Entities:
