High-volume polyethene glycol (PEG) solutions remain a major barrier to successful colonoscopy bowel preparation because of poor tolerability. Linaclotide, a guanylate cyclase-C agonist that increases intestinal secretion and...
Introduction Difficult biliary cannulation remains one of the most common and consequential problems in ERCP. Failed cannulation drives repeat procedures, percutaneous or surgical rescue, higher costs, longer hospital...
Introduction Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the preferred curative treatment for early gastric cancer, but it remains technically demanding, largely because of poor traction and limited visualization during...
Introduction Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the standard of care for large (≥20 mm), nonpedunculated colorectal polyps. Over the last few years, cold EMR and thermal ablation–assisted EMR...
Introduction Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) remains the most frequent and feared complication of ERCP. We all recognize that repeated pancreatic duct (PD) cannulations increase risk—but in real life, many...
Introduction Duodenoscope-related infection outbreaks—largely linked to reprocessing failures—drove the development of single-use duodenoscopes to eliminate cross-contamination risk. The safety argument is compelling. But ERCP already sits in a...
Introduction Post-polypectomy surveillance is one of the biggest drivers of colonoscopy workload worldwide. Current guidelines often label any polyp ≥10 mm as “high risk,” triggering a 3-year surveillance...
Introduction Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering routine GI endoscopy—particularly for polyp detection, lesion characterization, and quality assurance. While early studies show improved detection and efficiency, AI also introduces...
Introduction Gastrointestinal wall defects—such as leaks, fistulas, and chronic perforations—remain among the most frustrating complications in GI practice. Even with modern tools (clips, suturing, stents, vacuum therapy), chronic...
Introduction Colonoscopy quality is often judged by the adenoma detection rate (ADR), because better detection is linked to lower risk of future colorectal cancer. AI-based computer-aided detection (CADe)...
