Endoscopic background mucosal resurfacing to prevent metachronous recurrence of superficial esophageal squamous cell cancer after curative endoscopic submucosal dissection: randomized pilot study with 5-year follow-up (with video)
Post written by Wen-Lun Wang, MD, PhD, and Ching-Tai Lee, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, E-Da Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Metachronous recurrence frequently develops in patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) after curative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), especially in those with multiple (>10) small Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) over the esophageal background mucosa (ie, speckled pattern). …
Repeat peroral endoscopic myotomy: technical difficulty and risk factors
Post written by Li-Yun Ma, MD, from the Endoscopy Center and Endoscopy Research Institute, Shanghai Collaborative Innovation Center of Endoscopy, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Repeat peroral endoscopic myotomy (Re-POEM) has appeared to be a promising salvage option for patients with persistent/recurrent symptoms after initial peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), but it may be more technical challenging. …

Efficacy and safety of fully covered self-expandable metal stents in the management of postsphincterotomy bleeding: systematic review and meta-analysis
Post written by Aamir Saeed, MD, from the Department of Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) in the management of postsphincterotomy bleeding. Endoscopic sphincterotomy is commonly performed during ERCP to assist in various therapeutic interventions such as …

Potential indications for peranal endoscopic myectomy in lower rectal cancer
Post written by Katsuro Ichimasa, MD, PhD, from the Digestive Disease Center, Showa University Northern Yokohama Hospital, Yokohama, Japan. We present a groundbreaking advancement in the management of early lower rectal cancer through peranal endoscopic myectomy (PAEM), also known as endoscopic intermuscular dissection, in our recent publication in GIE. Traditional endoscopic methods such as endoscopic submucosal dissection …

Digital single-operator cholangioscopy for difficult anastomotic biliary strictures in living donor liver transplant recipients after failure of standard ERCP: SPYPASS-2 study (with videos)
Post written by In Rae Cho, MD, and Sang Hyub Lee, MD, PhD, from the Department of Internal Medicine and Liver Research Institute, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea. Anastomotic biliary strictures (ABSs) are a major adverse event after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and often difficult to treat with standard ERCP alone. The SPYPASS-2 study evaluated …
Quality indicators for EUS
Post written by Girish Mishra, MD, MS, FASGE, from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine/Atrium Health, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA. The prior version of “Quality indicators for EUS” was published 10 years ago. Interventional EUS (iEUS) was only a concept back then; therapeutic interventions were limited. We highlighted the expanding indications for EUS and …
