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…

Training in interventional endoscopy is offered by interventional endoscopy fellowship programs (IEFPs) not accredited by the ACGME. The number of these programs has increased exponentially with a concurrent increase in the breadth and complexity of these procedures…
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: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of colorectal lesions is technically demanding and carries a significant rate of noncurative resection…
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely accepted treatment option for superficial esophageal squamous neoplasms (SSN) in Asia and is supported by US society guidelines…
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…
Effectiveness of monopolar cutting current (MC) during POEM (per oral endoscopic myotomy) varies depending on tissue consistency and body composition. To overcome such variations, a novel bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) cutting knife (BC) was developed…
RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL COMPARING THE CLINICAL EFFICACY OF A BIPOLAR RADIOFREQUENCY CUTTING KNIFE VERSUS MONOPOLAR CUTTING KNIFE DURING ESOPHAGEAL POEM: A MULTICENTER NON-INFERIORITY STUDY
