Long-term outcomes after endoscopic resection for esophageal cancer show low recurrence risk.
Given the data, observation may be a viable strategy for these patients.
Flexible Endoscopy Surpasses Rigid Endoscopy for Zenker Repair
Flexible endoscopy achieves better outcomes than rigid endoscopy for Zenker diverticulum repair, making it a strong first-line option.
Stenosis Risk High After Circumferential Colorectal Dissection
Post-resection stenosis significantly impacts surgical outcomes for colorectal lesions treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection when over 90% of the circumference is involved.
Transanal Surgery Offers R0 Resection for Rectal GISTs
Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) provides promising outcomes for rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) while preserving function.
EUS-Guided Biopsy for Pancreatic Cysts: Key Outcomes and Risks
EUS-guided through-the-needle biopsy (EUS-TTNB) offers valuable diagnostic insights for pancreatic cysts but carries significant risks that surgeons must navigate.
ESD outperforms TEM for early rectal tumors in cost-effectiveness.
Choosing ESD could enhance surgical outcomes while managing costs effectively.
Diagnostic insights for colorectal laterally spreading tumors
Magnifying endoscopy offers limited guidance for treating non-granular laterally spreading tumors (lst-ng), crucial for surgical decisions.
Myotomy Methods Equal for Type III Achalasia Patients
Both per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) deliver similar outcomes for treating Type III achalasia, suggesting flexibility in surgical approach.
Enhanced Biliary Brush Cytology Boosts Detection of Cholangiocarcinoma
Updated protocols for biliary brush cytology significantly improve sensitivity in diagnosing perihilar and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
