BACKGROUND: Endoscopic Snare Papillectomy (ESP) is a minimally invasive option for the management of noninvasive ampullary adenomas…

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Minimal prospective data are available on intraoperative pancreatoscopy (IOP) for the diagnostic work-up of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN)…

Introduction: Transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a valuable tool for endoscopic evaluation of the upper gastrointestinal tract while entirely avoiding the risk of general anesthesia in children…

Background: Several studies have demonstrated targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of biliary brushings and/or biopsy specimens can improve the identification of neoplastic bile duct strictures…

EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a novel method for palliating gastric outlet obstructon due to unresectable malignancies…

Pancreatic cancer (PC) screening is recommended in high-risk individuals (HRIs) with familial and genetic risk factors. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used in combination as preferred screening modalities…

BACKGROUND: Multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) articulating forceps for flexible endoscopy is a unique device with both rotating and bending articulation that can provide active traction by pulling a mucosal flap towards the lumen…

Type II diabetes (T2D) pathogenesis is linked with diabetes-associated duodenal alterations, presenting a potential regnerative therapeutic target…

BACKGROUND: Obesity is considered a major risk factor for developing multiple complications and medical conditions including type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Multiple scores (i.e., Individualized Metabolic Surgery [IMS], DiaRem, advanced DiaRem, and Robert et Al…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The Primary Obesity Surgery Endoluminal 2.0 (POSE2.0) is an endoscopic gastric remodeling procedure that utilizes an incisionless operating platform (IOP, San Clemente, CA) to remodel the stomach and alter appetite (FIGURE 1)…

INTRODUCTION: Clinicians struggle with classifying biliary tract strictures as being benign or malignant due to inadequate sampling techniques. Current sampling modalities include brush cytology (BC) and forceps biopsy (FB), which have poor sensitivity for identifying malignancy…

Introduction: The X-Tack system is a device used for soft-tissue approximation in minimally invasive endoscopic procedures, and for stent or enteral tube fixation. Since it is a relatively new device, sparse data exists on potential adverse events that may occur following its use…

Introduction: Electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) is an endoscopic technique used to disrupt and remove gallstones. EHL is typically performed under direct vision of cholangioscopy…

Obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are two inter-related chronic diseases with significant medical and financial burden. T2DM results in detrimental vascular complications including microvascular and macrovascular diseases…
