Video Summary

Dr. Sachin Srinivasan from the University of Kansas Medical Center discusses endoscopic approaches for managing Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). The module emphasizes the importance of endoscopy in both diagnosing and treating EOE, highlighting the ERF score as crucial for documenting findings and tracking patient progress. Key topics include determining when to perform repeat endoscopies, managing EOE complications, and strategies for long-term surveillance to prevent esophageal strictures. The goal is achieving remission and deciding the frequency of follow-ups, whether through clinic visits, further endoscopies, or primary care management. Regular monitoring is essential to avoid complications.
