Risk of stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection in the cervical esophagus and efficacy of local steroid injection for stricture prevention (with video)
Post written by Yoshiaki Ando, MD, Minoru Kato, MD, and Ryu Ishihara, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka, Japan. Several studies have reported a high incidence of stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the cervical esophagus. However, the detailed clinical features have not been elucidated. We therefore analyzed 100 patients who underwent ESD for …
The best of colonoscopy in 2024
Post written by David L. Diehl, MD, FASGE, from the Departments of Medicine and Pathology, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, and the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, Pennsylvania, USA. It was a fun but challenging task to pick the top articles on colonoscopy published in 2024. The fun part was seeing how the very …
Editor’s Choice: Magnetic compression anastomosis for the treatment of complete biliary obstruction after cholecystectomy
GIE Associate Editor Monique Barakat, MD, highlights this article from the December issue: “Magnetic compression anastomosis for the treatment of complete biliary obstruction after cholecystectomy” by Sung Ill Jang, MD, PhD, et al. Post-cholecystectomy biliary strictures are generally managed endoscopically. However, when complete occlusion of the duct occurs, management with entirely endoscopic approaches is not possible. This study describes …
Top tips for pneumatic dilation of the lower esophageal sphincter (with video)
Post written by David L. Diehl, MD, FASGE, AGAF, FACP, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, Pennsylvania, USA. Although pneumatic dilation (PD) of the lower esophageal sphincter has had a long—and successful—history of use in the management of achalasia and related disorders, the advent of peroral endoscopic …

Pancreas and biliary ablation devices
Post written by Dennis Chen, MD, from the Center for Endoscopic Research and Therapeutics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA. This Technology Status Evaluation Report evaluates the available ablative therapy devices for pancreatic and biliary ductal conditions and reviews the devices, techniques, indications, efficacy, and safety profiles of the existing technology. Ablative therapies have been increasingly used …
A new artificial intelligence system for both stomach and small-bowel capsule endoscopy
Post written by Xia Xie, MD, PhD, and Shi-Ming Yang, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, The Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China. This research primarily focuses on analysis of artificial intelligence (AI)’s capacity for recognizing lesions in the stomach and small intestine as well as its potential to augment the diagnostic …
Recellularization via electroporation therapy of the duodenum combined with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist to replace insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes: 12-month results of a first-in-human study
Post written by Celine Busch, MD, and Annieke van Baar, MD, PhD, from Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The duodenum has proven to play a crucial role in glucose homeostasis. It is thought that obesogenic diets cause certain alterations in the duodenal mucosa, eventually leading to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes …
Virtual indigo carmine chromoendoscopy images: a novel modality for peroral cholangioscopy using artificial intelligence technology (with video)
Post written by Ryosuke Sato, MD, and Kazuyuki Matsumoto, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Hospital, Okayama, Japan. Our study focused on developing and evaluating a novel imaging technique that combines artificial intelligence with peroral cholangioscopy to improve visualization of biliary strictures. We used cycle-consistent adversarial network (CycleGAN) technology to convert standard …
