Gastroenterological endoscopic surgery needs complex surgical skills such as a sensation of body movement and manipulation the endoscope that is hard to be explained verbally. Prior research reported one most challenging teach. Thus, surgeons need long-term practice master skills. To support learning skills, we developed scene replay system. First, surveyed 12 reveal reason for difficulty elicited three requirements our system: (1) provide multiple videos include an endoscope, fluoroscopy,...

Guidelines for magnified endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) have been proposed by the Japan Esophageal Society. Type B1, B2, and B3 reflect increasing tumor invasion depths (within mucosal epithelium or into lamina propria mucosa [T1a-EP/LPM], muscularis superficial submucosa [T1a-MM/T1b-SM1], [T1b-SM2], respectively). The diagnostic accuracy type B1 is high, but B2 low. We aimed to improve B2.We retrospectively reviewed 248 SCC lesions treated with submucosal...

Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment for early gastric carcinoma. Vitamin K antagonists and direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) were reported to increase the risk of delayed bleeding after ESD. However, evaluation ESD cases taking scarce. We analyzed characteristics in patients on anticoagulants.Methods performed retrospective observational study at single center. Consecutive who underwent carcinoma took anticoagulants, including warfarin,...

Recent studies have reported the usefulness of preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fiducial tattooing (EUS-tattooing) pancreas. However, problems proper procedure, including markers and amounts, not been resolved. The aim present study was to evaluate feasibility EUS-tattooing with a minuscule amount marking solution using new injector.Six consecutive patients who underwent between June 2013 April 2015 at our center were retrospectively analyzed (mean age, 60.7 years; males, 4). A...

Histological diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal submucosal tumors (SMT) is a prerequisite for selecting the proper therapeutic approach. EUS-FNA has improved evaluation SMT. Endoscopic biopsy by mucosal incision (EBM) diagnostic procedure developed Yokohata et al. The principal aim this study was to examine potential EBM, as an alternative more expensive and technically-demanding EUS-FNA, in diagnosing This retrospective included consecutive series 27 patients (15 males 12 females, mean age...

Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage has attracted much attention. However, the risk management of adverse events and techniques to avoid them are not yet mature. Difficulty dilating fistula with a dilator or placing stent for often prolongs procedure time, which increases peritonitis failure rate. Therefore, result will be unstable, one cause is lack adhesion between digestive tract walls.We developed an anchor fix stomach walls prior in four live pigs using...

Background and study aims Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is an effective important diagnostic tool to detect gastric cancer (GC). Although previous studies show that examiner, patient, instrumental factors influence the detection of GC, we analyzed whether assigning a different examiner surveillance EGD would improve GC compared same as in endoscopy. Patients methods We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent two or more consecutive EGDs at single center between 2017 2019....
