Post written by Chelsea D’Ascanio, DNP, MS, CRNA, from Bariendo Inc and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The focus of this pilot project was to implement an enhanced recovery perioperative protocol to reduce postoperative emergency department (ED) visits and readmissions because of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). One …
Small-bowel transection after peroral motorized spiral enteroscopy
Post written by Partha Pal, MD, DNB, MRCP (UK), from the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, Hyderabad, India. This case describes a very rare instance of small-bowel transection (<1:1400 in our experience) after antegrade motorized spiral enteroscopy (MSE). The unpredictable adverse event was encountered during withdrawal of the enteroscope with the spiral overtube because of impaction …

Long-term outcomes (≥3 years) after gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy for refractory gastroparesis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Post written by Andrew Canakis, DO, from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Refractory gastroparesis is a chronic debilitating condition that results in decreased quality of life, weight loss/malnutrition, and increased healthcare costs. Medical options with prokinetic agents are often limited, and intrapyloric botulinum toxin injection has …
Randomized controlled trial of procedural sequence for same-day bidirectional endoscopy under monitored anesthesia care (RECoVER Trial)
Post written by Ali El Mokahal, MD, from the American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon. In this study, we investigated the impact of procedural sequence during same-day bidirectional endoscopy conducted with the patient under monitored anesthesia care. Our primary outcome was the time to recovery from sedation. We also evaluated the amount of sedation administered, time …
Artificial intelligence–assisted colonoscopy for adenoma and polyp detection: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Post written by Mohamed Shiha, MRCP, from the Academic Unit of Gastroenterology, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Sheffield, UK. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is the main quality indicator for the effectiveness of colonoscopy in preventing colorectal cancer. However, it is estimated that 1 in 4 adenomas are missed during colonoscopy. Recently, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled …
