Margin marking before colorectal endoscopic mucosal resection and its impact on neoplasia recurrence (with video)

Post written by Dennis Yang, MD, from the Center of Interventional Endoscopy, AdventHealth, Orlando, Florida, USA. Traditionally, during endoscopic submucosal dissection, lesion margins are meticulously examined and defined by placing coagulation marks lateral to the borders of the target lesion. The intended purpose of this step is to avoid inadvertent incomplete resection at the outer …

Effectiveness of clip-and-thread traction-assisted duodenal endoscopic submucosal dissection: a propensity score–matched study (with video)

Post written by Tomoaki Tashima, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Saitama, Japan. The indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) remain controversial because the procedure is technically challenging. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of duodenal traction-assisted …

New concept for colonoscopy including side optics and artificial intelligence

Post written by Joel Troya, MSc, from Interventional and Experimental Endoscopy (InExEn), Internal Medicine II, University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany. The combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and side optics might help detect adenomas that otherwise could be missed. Several studies have demonstrated that the adenoma detection rate is the critical parameter for reducing the incidence …

Incremental benefit of dye-based chromoendoscopy to predict the risk of submucosal invasive cancer in large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps

Post written by Mayenaaz Sidhu, MBBS, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Westmead Hospital, Sydney, Australia. This study was conducted to evaluate the incremental benefit of dye-based chromoendoscopy (DBC) to predict the risk of submucosal invasive cancer (SMIC) for large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) among independent observers. Real-time optical evaluation of the lesion’s surface …
