Digital single-operator peroral cholangioscopy-guided biopsy sampling versus ERCP-guided brushing for indeterminate biliary strictures
Post written by Mohan Ramchandani, MD, from the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology Hospitals, Hyderabad, India. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) compared with ERCP-based assessment using traditional sampling technology in patients with indeterminate biliary strictures (IBS). Indeterminate biliary stricture was defined as a suspected intrinsic …
Impact of en bloc resection on long-term outcomes after EMR
Post written by Mayenaaz Sidhu, MBBS, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Westmead Hospital, and Westmead Clinical School, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The focus of this study was to assess long-term outcomes of sized-matched laterally spreading colorectal lesions (LSL) resected en bloc (e-EMR) as compared to piece-meal resection (p-EMR). …
