Narrowed-spectrum Technologies in Endoscopic Imaging of The Upper Gastrointestinal Tract

Laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) for the upper gastrointestinal tract.

We developed the laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) technique, which combines endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and laparoscopic gastric resection to resect gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). Many researchers have reported LECS to be a feasible technique for gastric submucosal tumor resection regardless of tumor location, including the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Rec...

Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Biopsy; Morphological Spectrum of Lesions

.. Background: Upper GI endoscopy is an established procedure for investigating a wide range of upper GI conditions especially inflammatory and malignant diseases of stomach and esophagus. A good correlation in diagnosis can be achieved by complementing endoscopic findings with histology of biopsy specimens. Aims and objectives: 1) To evaluate morphological patterns of upper GI conditions. 2) T...

Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery and Upper Gastrointestinal Tract

Since the first transgastric natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery was described, various applications and modified procedures have been investigated. Transgastric natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for periotoneoscopy, cholecystectomy, and appendectomy all seem viable in humans, but additional studies are required to demonstrate their benefits and roles in clinical pract...

Novel Imaging Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract

Effect of Endoscopic Gastroplication on the Genome-Wide Transcriptome in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract

BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention strategy in obesity, resulting in sustained weight loss and a reduction of comorbidities. Gastroplication, using the articulating circular endoscopic stapler, was recently introduced as a transoral bariatric technique. This procedure reduces gastric volume and induced 34.9 % of excess weight loss in the first year (Paulus et al. Gastroin...
