Summary
What has truly transformed endoscopy over the past decades? In this first part of a two-part conversation, host Egle Dieninyte sits down with Professor Nageshwar Reddy, one of the most influential pioneers in modern therapeutic endoscopy, to reflect on how the field has evolved — and where it is heading next. From the transition from rigid to fibreoptic endoscopy, to the introduction of video systems that reshaped team dynamics in the endoscopy suite, Professor Reddy explains why some of the most powerful innovations were not necessarily the most glamorous ones. The discussion also explores: • Disposable scopes and environmental responsibility • Antibiotic resistance and global practice differences • The role of passion and compassion in medicine • Regenerative endoscopy and stem cell applications • The story behind the “Nagi stent” Beyond technology, this episode offers a personal perspective on success, mentorship, and what it truly means to be a good endoscopist. 🎧 Listen now to Part 1 — and stay tuned for Part 2, which will be released in a week from now on the 4th of March.
