... in the appendiceal orifice, and seven with severe fibrosis could be resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). All patients underwent treatment with a combination of cold snare polypectomy (CSP), endoscopic mucosal resection/hot polypectomy, and/or ESD. No case required surgery due to difficulty...

... to a specific lesion, we selected the largest as the culprit lesion. Information on the use of clips (either for hemostasis or for prophylactic defect closure) or argon plasma coagulation (APC) during primary resection, resection techniques (snare polypectomy or endoscopic mucosal resection [EMR], use of hot...

...Kazuki Yamamoto; Takashi Ikeya; Yasutoshi Shiratori Background: Here, we evaluated the utility of under-gel endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) with partial submucosal injection (PI) and under-gel precutting EMR for difficult-to-treat colorectal polyps. Methods: A retrospective case series...

... for endoscopy (Olympus, Corp. Hamburg, Germany) and Soarian (Cerner GmbH, Germany) as hospital information system, with a linkage of both with each other. Through the Endobase documentation system, all snare polypectomies, endoscopic mucosal resections (EMRs), endoscopic submucosal dissections, and ERCPs were...

... outcome was assessed in patients whose follow-up period was >12 months >1 year. Results: A total of 95 lesions (92 patients) were treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) ablation ( n = 25), endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR, n = 59), or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD, n = 11). The median...

... Endoscopic mucosal resection Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, which causes chronic and atrophic gastritis, is strongly implicated in the development of gastric cancer [ 1 ]. HP was recognized as a Group 1 human carcinogen causing gastric cancer by the International Agency for Research on Cancer...

... in patients treated with endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection for colorectal lesions. Despite the low-level of evidence of this meta-analysis, the antibiotic prophylaxis should be taken into account. Further multicenter, large-sample, randomized controlled studies are needed...

... Esophagectomy Endoscopic mucosal resection Abstract Adenocarcinomas in Barrett s esophagus are increasingly diagnosed at early stages thanks to effective surveillance programs.
