Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is rising in Asia. The diagnosis of IBD remains challenging, given the high incidence of infectious colitis and TB in this region. Endoscopy serves a number of functions in the management of IBD. In this chapter, we will review the current care of patients with IBD, with a focus in the utility of endoscopy in Singapore. Endoscopy is essential in the diagnosis of IBD, exclusion of other differential diagnosis and for colorectal cancer surveillance.
