Introduction Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists have rapidly become integral in the management of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic diseases due to their...
Introduction Barrett’s oesophagus represents a well-established precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma, with progression from intestinal metaplasia to dysplasia and invasive cancer. Given the poor prognosis of advanced disease, early...
Introduction Endoscopic resection has evolved rapidly, with increasing emphasis on precision, safety, and complete lesion removal. While advances in techniques such as EMR and ESD have transformed outcomes,...
Introduction Routine esophagram after POEM has long been considered a safety checkpoint to rule out leaks before resuming oral intake. However, with improved procedural techniques and safety, its...
Introduction Endoscopic band ligation (EBL) remains the standard of care for managing oesophagal varices, both in acute variceal bleeding and for prophylaxis. However, post-banding ulcer bleeding (PBUB) is...
This article reviews the endoscopic approach to palliation in pancreatic cancer, emphasising that most patients present with unresectable or metastatic disease, so symptom control becomes central to care....
Introduction Gastroparesis is a chronic disorder characterised by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, early satiety, bloating, and postprandial fullness. Treatment...
Introduction After CT-confirmed diverticulitis, follow-up colonoscopy is routinely performed to exclude malignancy. Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) offers a non-invasive alternative, but its impact on patient experience remains unclear....
The METARSI trial is a prospective, multicenter randomised controlled study comparing partially covered self-expanding metal stents (PC-SEMS) versus uncovered SEMS (U-SEMS) in patients with malignant unresectable distal biliary...
Endoscopic ultrasound–directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) has emerged as a transformative technique for managing biliary and pancreatic diseases in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) anatomy. Traditional ERCP is...
