ntroduction: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables en bloc resection of large superficial GI neoplasia, allowing accurate histopathology and potentially curative R0 resection while avoiding surgery. This ASGE technology...
Introduction: Guidelines generally favor removal of common bile-duct stones because of the future risk of cholangitis, pancreatitis, and obstruction. However, in elderly patients, the balance is less straightforward...
Introduction: Gastric variceal bleeding (GVB) is a high-risk portal hypertensive emergency in which conventional endoscopic therapy may be inadequate. EUS-guided coil embolisation plus cyanoacrylate (EUS-Coils+CYA) offers targeted variceal...
Introduction: Conventional ERCP relies on fluoroscopy for biliary imaging and stone extraction, exposing patients and endoscopy teams to ionising radiation. Fluoroscopy-free direct solitary cholangioscopy (DSC) offers direct intraductal...
Conventional Method: EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) creates a bypass between the stomach and jejunum using a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) for malignant gastric outlet obstruction. Successful deployment requires a...
Introduction: ERCP remains central to the management of common bile duct (CBD) stones, with established BSG and ESGE recommendations guiding patient selection, difficult stone management, and prevention of...
Introduction: Active surveillance is increasingly considered for small (≤20 mm), low-risk nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs), but the need for routine tissue acquisition remains debated. This study evaluated...
Introduction: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of lesions involving the ileocecal valve (ICV) and extending into the terminal ileum is among the most technically challenging colorectal procedures. Difficult scope...
Introduction: Recurrent esophageal strictures remain a frustrating clinical problem, often requiring repeated endoscopic dilations with persistent dysphagia and reduced quality of life. Although conventional balloon dilation effectively relieves...
Introduction: Cryoballoon ablation (CbA) is an emerging endoscopic ablative technology that delivers focal cryotherapy without the need for a decompression tube, making the procedure simpler and more efficient...
