Segmental metachronous adenoma rate as a metric for monitoring incomplete resection in a colonoscopy screening program

Incomplete resection appears to be a significant risk factor for metachronous neoplasia in 6-9 mm lesions as well as larger ones. Methods to monitor p...

Outcomes of hybrid technique using endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic full-thickness resection for polyps not amenable to standard techniques (with video)

The full-thickness resection device (FTRD) offers a safe and effective approach for the resection of complex colorectal lesions. A hybrid approach com...

Incidence of microscopic residual adenoma after complete wide-field endoscopic resection of large colorectal lesions: evidence for a mechanism of recurrence

LNPCP is associated with high rates of recurrent/residual adenoma. This may be possibly due to microadenoma left at the margin of resection. We aimed...

Comparison of endoscopic submucosal dissection and transanal endoscopic microsurgery for T1 rectal neuroendocrine tumors: a propensity score-matched study

ESD and TEM are the most effective endoscopic resection methods for T1 rectal neuroendocrine tumors. Median procedure time and hospital stay were sign...

Evaluating key characteristics of ideal colorectal cancer screening modalities: the microsimulation approach

Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) can effectively reduce CRC incidence and mortality. FIT, ColoGuard, pro-Epicolon, and PolypDx have recently been...

Comparison of long-term recurrence-free survival between primary surgery and endoscopic resection followed by secondary surgery in T1 colorectal cancer

The study aimed to investigate whether endoscopic resection of T1 colorectal cancer before surgery affects long-term recurrence-free survival. Both pr...

Laparoscopic lymph node sampling: a new concept for patients with high-risk early esophagogastric junction cancer resected endoscopically

Endoscopic resection is considered as a curative treatment for early upper GI cancers under certain histologic (low-risk) criteria. Esophagectomy is s...

Comparison of preoperative, intraoperative, and follow-up functional luminal imaging probe measurements in patients undergoing myotomy for achalasia

The FLIP is a novel catheter-based device that measures esophagogastric junction (EGJ) distensibility index (DI) DI at the conclusion of LHM was predi...
