BACKGROUND: There is a lack of data on training benchmarks to define competence in colorectal EMR (C-EMR) among advanced endoscopy trainees (AETs). Previous pilot data from our group demonstrated a relatively low proportion of AETs achieve competence on key cognitive and technical aspects of C-EMR…

BACKGROUND: Video analysis has emerged as a potentially strategy for performance assessment of specialized techniques where local expertise and mentorship are limited…

For training deep learning algorithms in medical imaging, application-specific data is often scarce…

BACKGROUND: G-POEM has emerged as a treatment for medically refractory gastroparesis. Safe and effective mucosal closure is necessary to avoid potential morbidity…

[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)…

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Differentiating pancreas cyst subtype is a fundamental step to develop management for patients with incidental pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL), but current standard of care has suboptimal accuracy…

Background: Severe and necrotizing acute pancreatitis can lead to symptomatic gastric outlet stenosis due to external compression. In addition, intestinal motility can be reduced in severe pancreatitis. These patients may require a gastric decompression tube and jejunal (or parenteral) nutrition…

BACKGROUND: Hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection (H-ESD), which incorporates ESD with endoscopic mucosal resection, has been developed and is increasingly utilized to overcome the technical complexity of conventional ESD (C-ESD)…

BACKGROUND: Esophageal stenosis is a potential risk after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), with incidence ranging from 70-90% among those with mucosal defects involving more than three-quarters of the circumference of the esophagus…
