- Unlike simple forward-viewing endoscopes such as gastroscope or colonoscope, duodenoscope houses much more complex design to fulfil its function. This design differences leave duodenoscopes more prone to contamination from inadequate disinfection process and potential dissemination of pathogens. Recent reports on dissemination of infection through the duodenoscope mandated an overhaul of duodenoscope utilization including development of a disposable duodenoscope. This article reviews the current state of disposable duodenoscope development, including reported early efficacy as well as its future direction and utilization.

- The increasing global emphasis on sustainability has extended its influence to the field of medicine, including endoscopy. Green endoscopy aims to minimize the environmental footprint of endoscopic practices while maintaining high standards of patient care. This review examines the current status of green endoscopy, focusing on its environmental impact, strategies for waste reduction, and adoption of sustainable practices. The key topics include the environmental challenges posed by single-use devices, the role of sterilization and recycling, and innovations in energy-efficient endoscopic equipment. Furthermore, we highlight policy recommendations and actionable strategies for healthcare systems to transition toward green practices. By integrating these approaches, the field of endoscopy can meaningfully contribute to global sustainability efforts without compromising clinical outcomes.
