title: Complications of endoscopy.
abstract: This article focuses on potential complications of standard upper and lower endoscopic procedures. Adverse events associated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, EUS, and certain advanced therapeutic techniques such as mucosal resection are not covered. Rather, the article focuses on the recognition of preprocedure risk factors for various complications and the diagnosis and management for procedure-related adverse events.
