Automated software-assisted diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell neoplasia using high-resolution microendoscopy
Post written by Mimi C. Tan, MD, MPH, from the Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas. High-resolution microendoscopy (HRME) is an ‘optical biopsy’ technology that provides sub-cellular imaging of esophageal mucosa at the time of endoscopy. The endoscopist is able to assess nuclear size, crowding, and pleomorphisms …
Small-bowel aspiration during upper esophagogastroduodenoscopy: Rao technique

Vascularity can distinguish neoplastic from non-neoplastic bile duct lesions during digital single-operator cholangioscopy
Post written by Carlos Robles-Medranda, MD, from the Gastroenterology and Endoscopy, Instituto Ecuatoriano de Enfermedades Digestivas, Guayaquil, Ecuador. Accurately diagnosing indeterminate biliary lesions on clinical practice is a challenging task. Endoscopists may use Digital single operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) to evaluate those lesions, acquire histologic specimens, and to guide clinical management. Various DSOC classification systems and …
Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for palliative treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma
Post written by Ana Luísa Lopes dos Santos Silva, MD, from the Gastroenterology Department, Centro Hospitalar São João, Porto, Portugal. Our video reports 3 patients with a diagnosis of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, who underwent endoscopic radiofrequency ablation with palliative intent. In all cases, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with single-operator cholangioscope was performed due to cholestasis symptoms to …

The optimal method of gallbladder drainage for acute cholecystitis in nonsurgical candidates is uncertain. The aim of the current study was to conduct a network meta-analysis comparing …
ESD of early-stage rectal cancer using full-time red dichromatic imaging to minimize and avoid significant bleeding
Post written by Aoi Kita, MD, and Toshio Uraoka, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine, Maebashi, Japan. Red Dichromatic Imaging (RDI), a novel image-enhanced endoscopy technology (IEE), has been reported to improve the visibility of deep vessels and bleeding points compared to white-light imaging. We present …
Successful duodenal endoscopic submucosal dissection using multiple clip-and-thread traction for a large tumor located in the duodenal bulb
Post written by Tomoaki Tashima, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Saitama, Japan. A 74-year-old man was referred to our institute for the treatment of a large flat-elevated tumor (diameter, 50 mm) in the duodenal bulb.
