Post written by Mike Tzuhen Wei, MD, from Stanford University, Stanford, California, and Veterans Affairs Palo Alto, Palo Alto, California, USA. In our presentation, we demonstrate the use of a dual-action clip and clips with atraumatic teeth in facilitating the closure of endoscopic submucosal dissection defects. We found that the dual-action clip (Micro-Tech Endoscopy USA, Ann …

Post written by Yoriaki Komeda, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Kindai University Faculty of Medicine, Osaka, Japan. We performed endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with reinforcement using a laparoscopic approach (duodenal-laparoscopic and endoscopic coordinated surgery [D-LECS] with ESD) for a duodenal cavernous hemangioma. Cavernous hemangiomas including duodenum are derived from the submucosa. Even …
Post written by Steven R. Siegal, MD, from AdventHealth, Orlando, Florida, USA. We demonstrate a case of a Roux-en-Y anastomotic dehiscence that was rescued via total endoscopic means over various sessions. It is important to know the available endoscopic tools and how they can be used in a complementary fashion to essentially perform surgical procedures. It …

Post written by Hiroyuki Aihara, MD, PhD, Director, Endoscopic Tissue Resection Program, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Current techniques and devices for traction in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) own inherent limitations such as technical complexity, lack of adjustability, or demanding preparation. Recently, a single-operator, through-the-scope, articulating …
