Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Félix I. Téllez‐Ávila's research focuses on gastrointestinal and pancreatic disorders, with a particular emphasis on diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic techniques. He has investigated the utility of endoscopic ultrasound in managing idiopathic acute recurrent pancreatitis and explored its role in palliation of pain associated with chronic pancreatitis through the EPOCH Trial. His work also examines the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, including strategies to prevent post-procedural pancreatitis, such as topical epinephrine application.

Téllez‐Ávila has also contributed to understanding the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic duct disruptions and disconnections through international expert surveys. His research extends to the long-term clinical outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy for benign gastric outlet obstruction and the application of EUS-guided tissue acquisition for neoplasms of the pancreas. He has also conducted systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the efficacy of endoscopic sphincterotomy for Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. His scholarly output includes 249 publications with an h-index of 22 and 2,356 citations, and he is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
