: ESGE/ESGAR Guidelines represent a consensus of best practice based on the available evidence at the time of preparation. They may not apply to all situations and should be interpreted in the setting of specific clinical situations and resource availability. They are intended to be an educational tool to provide information that may support endoscopists in providing care to patients. They are not rules and should not be utilized to establish a legal standard of care.This Guideline was reviewed internally by both ESGE and ESGAR, and distributed to ESGE individual members and member societies for comments.
