ABSTRACT
The oblique-view echoendoscope is currently the sole tool for ultrasound-guided endoscopic procedures (EUS) in most hospital centers, despite its limitations like a lack of forward vision, issues with needle angle, and restricted accessory device size due to channel angulation. However, our study revealed no significant differences between the oblique and frontal endoscopes, except for minor variations in specific regions. For routine diagnostic studies, interchangeability between the devices is feasible. The anticipated advantages of the frontal device may emerge more prominently in future therapeutic procedures. This suggests that, while the oblique-view echoendoscope remains the primary tool, the frontal device holds potential for evolving roles in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
