Impact of endoscopic papillary large-balloon dilation
Post written by Young Koog Cheon, MD, PhD, from the Digestive Disease Center, Department of Internal Medicine, Konkuk University School of Medicine in South Korea. Endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) using balloons with a diameter of less than 8mm is considered to preserve papillary function. However, it is still unknown whether papillary function is preserved …

Adenoma recurrence after piecemeal colonic EMR is predictable
Post written by David J. Tate, MA (Cantab), MBBS, MRCP, from Westmead Hospital, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and Westmead Campus, University of Sydney Medical School, Sydney, Australia. Recurrence is the main limitation of wide-field endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for large laterally spreading colonic lesions (LSL). We aimed to derive a set of clinically useful …

A standardized imaging protocol is accurate in detecting recurrence after EMR
Post written by Lobke Desomer, MD, from Westmead Hospital, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an increasingly used, safe, and effective technique for the removal of large laterally spreading colorectal lesions ≥20 mm. At present, EMR is seen as a 2-stage procedure with the first surveillance colonoscopy at …

Classification of nuclear morphology in endocytoscopy of colorectal neoplasms
Post written by Toyoki Kudo, MD, PhD, from the Digestive Disease Center, Showa University Northern Yokohama Hospital, Yokohama, Japan. Endoscopic diagnosis makes it possible to differentiate between colorectal carcinomas with slight submucosal invasion (SM-s), defined as carcinomas with a vertical invasion depth of less than 1000 µm in the submucosal layer, and massive submucosal invasion …

Use of circumferential radiofrequency ablation for early esophageal squamous neoplasias
Post written by Wen-Lun Wang, MD, PhD and Ching-Tai Lee, MD, from the Department of Internal Medicine, E-Da Hospital/I-Shou University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Our study focused on the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for early esophageal squamous cell neoplasias (ESCNs) in patients with well-compensated cirrhosis accompanied by esophageal varices. Heavy alcohol consumption is a …
Maneuverability and safety of a magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy system
Post written by Hongxiang Gu, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China. Colon capsule endoscopy has become an alternative method to evaluate the colonic mucosa without pain, sedation, and gas insufflation in recent years. The magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy (MCCE) system is a capsule endoscopy robot system. We performed a …
