This article, published in the journal Endoscopy, examines the clinical course of intraprocedural perforation during gastric and colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The study analyzed 43 cases of perforation out of a total of 3251 ESD procedures performed between 2021 and 2023. The researchers categorized the cases into two groups based on the presence or absence of symptoms and found that the time required for closure of the perforation affected the appearance of postoperative symptoms. The study emphasizes the importance of promptly closing the perforation site for a good clinical outcome. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses a study conducted to evaluate the efficacy and durability of a transparent silicon attachment called the Static Electricity Fastening Tape (SET) hood, which can be used during colonoscopies. The study involved 69 colonoscopies using the SET hood, and the results showed a 100% completion rate of colonoscopy without hood detachment and a 100% cecal intubation rate. The median intubation time was 8 minutes, and the total examination time had a median of 20 minutes. The adenoma detection rate was 48%, and there were no complications reported. The study concludes that the SET hood is durable and efficient for assisting colonoscopies. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses the feasibility and technical aspects of endoscopic resection of ileal lipomas, which are benign gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions. The narrow lumen, thin wall, and abundant mucosal blood supply of the small intestines make this area difficult to treat endoscopically. The authors present a novel technique called the "tongue out technique," which involves extracting the lesion into the caecum to provide a better view and workspace. The study analyzed seven cases of endoscopic resection using this technique and found a 100% technical success rate with no perforations or recurrence of the lipoma. The authors conclude that this new technique can facilitate the treatment of ileal lipomas with minimally invasive and organ-preserving endoscopic procedures. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the feasibility of a new technique called the Clip with Line Pulley Securing (CLiPS) for closing mucosal defects after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The study involved 34 patients who underwent gastric ESD and found that the CLiPS technique had a 100% success rate and complete closure rate. The procedure was performed without any complications, and there were no cases of delayed bleeding or perforation. The authors suggest that further validation of the CLiPS technique in other organs is planned for the future. [Extracted from the article]
