BACKGROUND: Sound evidence support the effectiveness of the transoral outlet reduction (TORe) with full-thickness endoscopic suturing (FTS) or argon plasma coagulation (APC) alone to address post-RYGB weight regain…

Background: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a major cause of liver-related morbidity, mortality, and the leading indication for liver transplant in the US. Fibrosis is the best predictor of clinical outcomes in NASH…

Gastric fistula formation is a known complication of bariatric surgery. Many gastric fistulae can be managed endoscopically, however, it can be difficult to successfully treat chronic fistulae…

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition is a complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and can range from micronutrient deficiencies to protein-calorie malnutrition. Malignant neoplasms and certain surgical complications can increase this risk…

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…

Current guidelines advise esophagectomy for submucosal esophageal adenocarcinoma (T1b EAC). However, data from retrospective studies suggest that endoscopic follow-up (FU) may be a valid alternative in patients without signs of lymph node metastases (LNM) at baseline…

Background: Transoral outlet reduction endoscopy (TORe) has been shown to be effective in managing weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), as has the glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, liraglutide. However, the effect of adjunctive liraglutide after TORe has yet to be assessed…

Background: Gastric sleeve stenosis (GSS) is an increasingly common adverse event following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and thought to result from progressive rotation and/or scarring of the sleeve. Objective diagnostic criteria for this condition are lacking…
