A series of workshops entitled “Advanced endoscopy in the management of inflammatory digestive disease” was held at the 97th to 100th biannual meeting of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society. During these core sessions, research findings concerning various endoscopic practices in the field of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) were presented, and meaningful discussions were shared on the evolving role and future challenges of endoscopy in IBD.
