The modified Rutgeerts’ score (mRS) is widely used for the assessment of endoscopic postoperative recurrence (ePOR) in Crohn’s disease (CD) after ileocolic resection to guide therapeutic decisions. To improve the validity and prognostic value of this endoscopic assessment, two new scores have been proposed. This study assessed the interobserver agreement of the current (mRS) and new endoscopic scores

Contributions of early detection and cancer prevention to colorectal cancer mortality reduction by screening colonoscopy: a validated modelling study Gastrointest. Endosc. (IF 7.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Thomas Heisser PhD, Dmitry Sergeev M.Sc., Michael Hoffmeister PhD, Hermann Brenner MD
Screening colonoscopy, recommended every ten years, reduces mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC) by early detection of prevalent but undiagnosed CRC, as well as by prevention of CRC by removal of precursor lesions. The aim of this study was to assess the relative contribution of both components to total CRC mortality reduction over time. Using a validated multistate Markov model, we simulated hypothetical

Initial Experience with Duodenoscopes with Single-Use End Caps in Pediatric Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: Infection Prevention Comes at a Cost. Gastrointest. Endosc. (IF 7.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Monique T. Barakat MD PhD, Andrew Liman MD, Roberto Gugig MD
Duodenoscopes with single-use end caps were introduced to minimize infection risk, but are unstudied in pediatrics. We collected clinical data and endoscopists’ evaluations of duodenoscopes with single-use end caps versus reusable duodenoscopes over 18 months. A total of 106 ERCPs were performed for patients aged 1-18 (mean 14.2) years. Forty-six involved single-use end caps, with 9 requiring crossover

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
