Malignant colorectal polyps are defined as lesions that invade into the submucosa and represent early colorectal cancer (T1 by the TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors system)…

Background: GI endoscopy procedures are critical for the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of a variety of patient signs/symptoms…

[Introduction] Early detection of gastric cancer offers favorable treatment outcomes. Second-generation narrow-band imaging (NBI) is expected to improve the detection of early gastric cancer (EGC); however, the detection rate is not superior to that of white light imaging (WLI)…

Glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) are used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. Due to a gap of data, guidance from the GI societies and American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) remain in conflict on recommendations to holding GLP1-RAs prior to endoscopy (EGD)…

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States (US). Previous reports have shown significant changes in the epidemiology of CRC…

Artificial intelligence-assisted colonoscopy (AIAC) is a promising technology to improve colonoscopy quality by detecting precancerous polyps that may be missed during unassisted colonoscopy. Multiple studies have found improved adenoma detection rate (ADR) with AIAC…

Resection of distal rectal lesions extending to the dentate line is technically challenging due to unique anatomical features and the ideal treatment strategy remains unclear…

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) in the rectum, while offering many advantages, has delayed complications such as bleeding and perforation. Some consider routine post-ESD overnight hospital observation to monitor for these complications…

Colonoscopy with polypectomy has been shown to reduce the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) through the removal of precancerous polyps. The United States Multi-Society Task Force (USMSTF) on CRC, recommends colonoscopy or annual FIT as tier 1 screening tests for CRC…

Serious adverse events (SAEs) are frequent occurrences in endoscopy and especially for those performing complex endoscopic interventions. These events may be life altering for the patient (the first victim); however, it is unclear how impactful they are to the endoscopist (the second victim)…

Nonsurgical management options for acute cholecystitis include percutaneous or endoscopic gallbladder drainage …

While balloon dilation is the mainstay of treatment for benign upper gastrointestinal strictures, a large number of strictures will remain refractory to balloon dilation therapy…
