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 …

Possibility of ultrathin endoscopy in radial incision and cutting for esophageal strictures
Post written by Mako Koseki, MD, and Daisuke Kikuchi, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Toranomon Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. In this video, we present a case of a refractory esophageal stricture caused by anastomosis of gastric tube reconstruction for advanced esophageal carcinoma. We treated the stricture with radial incision and cutting (RIC) using ultrathin endoscopy. …
Endoscopic submucosal dissection in the right lateral position for early gastric cancer in the fornix
Post written by Hiromu Fukuda, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita, Japan. In this video case, we show the usefulness of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the right lateral position (RLP) for early gastric cancer (EGC) in the fornix. ESD of EGC in the fornix is challenging …
Technical feasibility of salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection after chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma
Post written by Galen Leung, MD, from the Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. For this study, we wanted to evaluate the technical feasibility of salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) after chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma in terms of rates of complete resection of residual tumor and safety profile. Emerging evidence …
Endoscopic submucosal dissection with ductotomy for the resection of a gastric duplication cyst with a communicating duct
Post written by Hiroyuki Aihara, MD, PhD, from the Division of Gastroenterology Hepatology and Endoscopy, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. A 40-year-old woman with persistent upper abdominal pain was found to have a 3-cm subepithelial lesion in the prepyloric area and was referred to our center. EUS showed an anechoic cyst in the …
Efficacy and safety comparison of scissor-type knives with needle-type knives for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection: a post-hoc propensity score–matched analysis (with videos)
Post written by Toshio Kuwai, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, National Hospital Organization Kure Medical Center and Chugoku Cancer Center, Kure, Japan. In this study, we primarily focused on the safety of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using a scissor-type knife in comparison to a needle-type knife. For more information, please visit our …
A specimen collection technique to ensure that the resected specimen is safely retrieved after duodenal endoscopic submucosal dissection
Post written by Marie Kurebayashi, MD, from the Department of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, NTT Medical Center Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. This video describes the collection method for duodenal specimens resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). With this method, we leave a thin bundle of about 1 mm of submucosal fibers for the linkage of the resected specimen …
Endoscopic submucosal dissection to treat squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the anal canal
Post written by Michael Lajin, MD, from SHARP HealthCare, San Diego, California, USA. The standard treatment for squamous cell anal cancer is chemoradiation treatment. A few case reports from Japan address resecting early squamous cell anal cancer by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We presented a case series of squamous carcinoma in situ of the anal canal …
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 …
Gauze extension method for specimens resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection
Post written by Satoshi Ono, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Chiba-Nishi General Hospital, Matsudo, Chiba, Department of Gastroenterology, Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Medical Center, and Department of Gastroenterology, The University of Tokyo Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. Nowadays, endoscopic resection has been accepted as a reliable choice for gastrointestinal neoplasms. Many endoscopists perform endoscopic resections, including …
