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…
Introduction: Adenoma per colonoscopy (APC) has recently been proposed as a quality measure for colonoscopy. We evaluated the impact of a novel AI system, compared to standard HD colonoscopy, for APC measurement…
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic defect closure have been applied to reduce the adverse events rate after colorectal endoscopic submucosa dissection (ESD). As for the suturing device, the closure has usually been performed using through-the-scope clips (TTSC)…
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…
Delayed bleeding can occur after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in up to 15.6% of cases. Current hemostatic methods to minimize delayed bleeding risk have limitations. Epinephrine injection effect is transient…
BACKGROUND/AIM: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool in gastroenterology, providing detailed images of the structure’s layers, as well as nearby structures…
