To overcome the technical difficulties associated with gastric ESD, a novel traction device that can alter the direction of traction was developed. Here, we compared the efficacy and safety of conventional ESD with that of traction-assisted gastric ESD. Patients with a single gastric epithelial neoplasm were randomized to receive conventional (n=75) or traction-assisted (n=73) gastric ESD. The primary

Traction has become the reference strategy for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). One of its major limitations is that the force of traction decreases as dissection progresses. The ATRACT traction device uses a pulley system to increase traction during the procedure, making it easier and faster. A retrospective study of 54 cases showed interesting results in terms of efficacy and safety

Endoscopic resection (ER) is a minimally invasive treatment for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC). Post-ER scars complicate en bloc resection, even with advanced techniques, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection. The cryoballoon ablation system (CBAS) effectively manages Barrett’s esophagus but has limited evidence in SESCC treatment, particularly on post-ER scars. This study

Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Liver Palpation As a Screening Tool for Advanced Fibrosis and Cirrhosis in Patients with Suspected Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Pilot Study Gastrointest.

Endoscopic liver “palpation” can be performed by indenting the liver surface under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Indentation depth is measured with sonographic calipers. We hypothesize that fibrotic livers are more difficult to indent, and indentation can accurately predict liver fibrosis staging. We compared EUS-guided liver palpation to conventional screening modalities in patients with suspected

Obtaining adequate tissue samples in subepithelial lesions (SELs) remains challenging. Several biopsy techniques are available, but a systematic review including all available techniques to obtain a histological diagnosis of SEL is lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic yield and complication rates of endoscopic biopsies, endoscopic ultrasound guided-FNA and –FNB (EUS-FNA/B),
