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...
Introduction: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines recommend emergent endoscopy within 6 hours for complete oesophageal food bolus obstruction and urgent endoscopy within 24 hours for incomplete...
Introduction: Serrated polyps, particularly proximal sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), are increasingly recognised as major precursors of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC). This study evaluated whether achieving excellent bowel preparation...
Introduction: Conventional chromoendoscopy enhances the detection of early gastric neoplasms but requires dye spraying, adding time and procedural complexity. This proof-of-concept multicenter study evaluated Generative Chromoendoscopy, an artificial...
Introduction: Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) has become an effective treatment for refractory gastroparesis. Endoscopic Functional Luminal Imaging Probe (EndoFLIP) allows real-time assessment of pyloric physiology, but its...
Introduction: Endoscopic gastroplasty has emerged as an effective minimally invasive treatment for obesity, offering an alternative to bariatric surgery. Multiple endoscopic techniques are currently available, but comparative evidence...
Introduction: Adequate bowel preparation is often difficult to achieve in hospitalized patients because of advanced age, comorbidities, immobility, and concurrent medications. This multicenter randomized INTERPRET trial compared 1-L,...
Introduction: Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is the most important quality indicator for colonoscopy and is directly associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk. Although randomized trials have shown that...
