Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection in challenging esophageal subepithelial lesions: a minimally invasive approach
Post written by Shaimaa Elkholy, MD, Karim Essam, MD, and Mohamed El Sherbiny, MD, from the Gastroenterology Division, Internal Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt. Our article highlights the role of submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) in managing 2 highly challenging esophageal subepithelial lesions. Although STER has become an established minimally invasive technique for selected lesions, its application in …
Multitraction point strategy for endoscopic submucosal dissection in managing difficult colorectal lesions
Post written by Abdulrahman Qatomah, MBBS, from Gastroenterology, Endoscopy and Hepatology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. We present a multitraction point (MTP) technique designed to facilitate endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for difficult-to-access colorectal lesions. This approach is particularly useful for large lesions with suboptimal submucosal exposure, where perpendicular rather than tangential dissection …

Post written by GIE Editor-in-Chief Douglas G. Adler, MD, FASGE, FACG, AGAF. At GIE, we are extremely proud to announce that our Impact Factor has risen to 8.0. This represents a significant improvement in our Impact Factor and our second consecutive increase. It takes a focused and concerted effort to raise the Impact Factor of …
Robotic-assisted traction and closure during colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection
Post written by Carlos E. Bertran-Rodriguez, MD, and Dennis Yang, MD, from the Center for Interventional Endoscopy, AdventHealth Orlando, Orlando, Florida, USA. Our video demonstrates use of a novel robotic—assisted traction device (TraCloser; EndoRobotics, Seoul, South Korea) during colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of a rectal 60-mm laterally spreading granular tumor. The robotic gripper arm allowed real-time adjustments for dynamic …
Superiority of excellent over good bowel preparation for proximal serrated polyp detection in a fecal immunochemical test–based screening cohort
Post written by Stefano Kayali, MD, from from the Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, and the Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Unit, University Hospital of Parma, and Stefano Fantasia, MD, from the Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma, Parma, Italy. Our study investigates the impact of bowel preparation quality, specifically comparing excellent (Boston Bowel Preparation Scale …
Modified gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy for helical stenosis after sleeve gastrectomy
Post written by Michael Lajin, MD, from Sharp HealthCare, San Diego, California, USA. We present a case series of 3 patients with helical stenosis after surgical sleeve gastrectomy treated with modified gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) as the initial approach. All patients in this series underwent under-saline tunneling, which facilitated navigation through a swirling, challenging submucosal (SM) …
Real-world outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound–guided tissue acquisition for actionable diagnosis in suspected primary or recurrent lymphoma
Post written by Ho Seung Lee, MD, Gunn Huh, MD, and Do Hyun Park, MD, PhD, from the Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Internal Medicine, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, and the Department of Internal Medicine, Korea University Anam Hospital, Seoul, South Korea. This study evaluated the real-world clinical impact of EUS-guided tissue acquisition in patients with suspected …
Postlobectomy bronchoesophageal fistula treated with endoscopic helical tacking system and anchor-pronged clip
Post written by Margherita Costanza Maregatti, MD, and Giuseppe De Roberto, MD, from the Division of Endoscopy, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy. This video presents endoscopic management of a postsurgical bronchoesophageal fistula that developed 6 weeks after right upper lobectomy for a lung adenocarcinoma in a 50-year-old woman. The fistula measured approximately 7 mm on the esophageal side …
Endoscopic ultrasound—guided ethanol lavage as a novel therapeutic modality for symptomatic simple renal cysts
Post written by Yoonchan Lee, MD, Tae Jun Song, MD, PhD, and Dong-Wan Seo, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea. Simple renal cysts are among the most common incidental findings on abdominal imaging, present in roughly one-half of individuals older than 50 years. Although the vast majority of these …
