Abstract Background and study aims Large series suggest endoscopic mucosal resection is safe effective for the removal of large (≥ 10 mm) sessile serrated polyps (SSPs), but it exposes patient to risks electrocautery, including delayed bleeding. We examined feasibility safety piecemeal cold snare polypectomy (pCSP) SSPs. Methods Sequential SSPs (10 – 35 without evidence dysplasia referred over 12 months a tertiary endoscopy center were considered pCSP. A thin-wire was used in all cases....
Abstract Background and aims Non-lifting large laterally spreading colorectal lesions (LSLs) are challenging to resect endoscopically often necessitate surgery. A safe, simple technique treat non-lifting LSLs with robust long-term outcomes has not been described. Methods In this single-center prospective observational study of consecutive patients referred for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) ≥ 20 mm, completely resectable by snare because underwent standardized completion cold-forceps...
Abstract Background The SMSA (size, morphology, site, access) polyp scoring system is a method of stratifying the difficulty polypectomy through assessment four domains. aim this study was to evaluate ability predict critical outcomes endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). Methods We retrospectively applied prospectively collected multicenter database large colonic laterally spreading lesions (LSLs) ≥ 20 mm referred for EMR. Standard inject-and-resect EMR procedures were performed. primary end...
Main recommendations Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the standard of care for complete removal large (≥ 10 mm) nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs). Increased detection LNPCPs owing to screening colonoscopy, plus high observed rates incomplete and need surgery call a standardized approach training in EMR. 1 Trainees EMR should have achieved basic competence diagnostic < 10-mm polypectomy, pedunculated common methods gastrointestinal endoscopic hemostasis. The role formal...
Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is safe and effective for the removal of small adenomas (≤10 mm); however, reported incomplete resection rates (IRRs) vary. The optimal CSP technique, where a wide margin normal tissue resected around target lesion, design have both been hypothesized to reduce IRR after CSP. We sought investigate efficacy thin-wire versus thick-wire diameter on IRR, using standardized technique.This was an international multicenter parallel randomized trial with 17 endoscopists...
Objective Residual or recurrent adenoma (RRA) after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) ≥20 mm is a major limitation. Data on outcomes the treatment recurrence are scarce, and no evidence-based standard exists. We investigated efficacy retreatment over time in prospective cohort. Design Over 139 months, detailed morphological histological data consecutive RRA detected EMR for single LNPCPs at one tertiary endoscopy centre were prospectively...
Subcutaneous (SC) infliximab CT-P13 (IFX) has recently been registered for the treatment of moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The SC route is an attractive option patients. However, many open questions remain on how to safely switch patients from maintenance IV administration. assess switching IFX therapy in IBD through clinical and biochemical evaluation. Patients durable remission eight-weekly (or six-weekly) therapeutic trough levels were switched every two weeks. All...
Objective Operator technical skill is recognised as a critical determinant of surgical outcomes. However, no equivalent recognition for quality endoscope tip manipulation (tip-control) exists. We aimed to create an ex-vivo snare soft coagulation (STSC) model objectively quantify endoscopist tip-control. Method This prospective interventional study was conducted at Ghent University Hospital. Participants applied STSC training simulating four endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) defects on slice...
BACKGROUND : Colorectal polypectomy is operator dependent, with variable rates of complete resection. The currently available assessment tools do not provide specific competency-based evaluation provider technique. We aimed to validate the Global Polypectomy Assessment Tool (GPAT), a novel competency tool for colorectal polypectomy. METHODS GPAT was derived from ESGE Curriculum Training in endoscopic mucosal resection colon. Members curriculum taskforce plus three invited trainees and...
