A randomized controlled trial published in Endoscopy (July 2026) compared cold snare polypectomy (CSP) with hot snare polypectomy (HSP) for small pedunculated colorectal polyps. Key findings CSP eliminated...
Introduction: Acute cholecystitis in patients with malignant biliary obstruction can be difficult to manage, particularly when surgery is not feasible. Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD) is an attractive...
Introduction: Early detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is critical for curative endoscopic treatment. However, subtle lesions are often missed during routine endoscopy. This meta-analysis evaluated whether...
Introduction: Endoscopic metabolic therapies have emerged as less invasive alternatives to bariatric surgery for patients with obesity and poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The EndoBarrier duodenal-jejunal...
Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage is the standard minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic necrotizing pancreatitis. However, the optimal timing of direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) following drainage remains...
Introduction: Bevacizumab is widely used in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) because of its survival benefits but is associated with impaired wound healing, gastrointestinal perforation, and bleeding. These concerns...
Introduction: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables en bloc resection of large colorectal neoplasms with excellent oncological outcomes. However, concerns about perforation have limited its widespread adoption. This large...
Introduction: Obesity has become one of the greatest global health challenges. New incretin-based therapies—including semaglutide, tirzepatide, resmetirom, and SGLT2 inhibitors such as empagliflozin—have transformed the treatment of obesity,...
Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) is the standard technique for diagnosing solid pancreatic lesions. Traditionally, biopsy specimens are processed for cytology, often requiring on-site cytopathology support. This...
Introduction: Although Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective bariatric procedure, a small proportion of patients develop severe nutritional complications, refractory dumping syndrome, or other debilitating adverse events...
