Post written by Jonathan Makar, BSc, from The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Our study focuses on the impact of computer-aided detection (CADe) systems and their role in improving adenoma detection during colonoscopy. These novel artificial intelligence (AI) systems aim to address endoscopist recognition failure and improve colonoscopy performance, as they are not subject to human …

Post written by Takayoshi Tsuchiya, MD, PhD, FJGES, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo, Japan. This study focuses on the long-term outcomes of the EUS-guided balloon-occluded gastrojejunostomy bypass (EPASS) technique for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). EPASS is a novel procedure developed by our team at Tokyo Medical University that combines a …
Efficacy of cold piecemeal EMR of medium to large adenomas compared with sessile serrated lesions
Post written by Jeevithan Sabanathan, MBBS, from Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and Logan Hospital, Brisbane, and Thomas J. Williams, MBBS, from the University of Queensland, Brisbane, and Logan Hospital. Cold piecemeal EMR (C-EMR) has continued to gain popularity because of its simplicity and exceptional safety profile. The near-zero risk of perforation and clinically significant postpolypectomy bleeding …

Risk of stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection in the cervical esophagus and efficacy of local steroid injection for stricture prevention (with video)
Post written by Yoshiaki Ando, MD, Minoru Kato, MD, and Ryu Ishihara, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka, Japan. Several studies have reported a high incidence of stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the cervical esophagus. However, the detailed clinical features have not been elucidated. We therefore analyzed 100 patients who underwent ESD for …

Editor’s Choice: Magnetic compression anastomosis for the treatment of complete biliary obstruction after cholecystectomy
GIE Associate Editor Monique Barakat, MD, highlights this article from the December issue: “Magnetic compression anastomosis for the treatment of complete biliary obstruction after cholecystectomy” by Sung Ill Jang, MD, PhD, et al. Post-cholecystectomy biliary strictures are generally managed endoscopically. However, when complete occlusion of the duct occurs, management with entirely endoscopic approaches is not possible. This study describes …
