Endoscopic Submucosal Tunnel Dissection for Esophageal Granular Cell Tumor Resection
Publication date: January 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 1, Issues 3–4 Author(s): Francisco Baldaque-Silva , Margarida Marques , Joanne Lopes , Guilherme Macedo Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) was recently described for the resection of upper gastrointestinal submucosal tumors, namely leiomyomas, GISTs and aberrant pancreas. Granular cell tumors (GCT) are usually benign, but should be removed when symptomatic, significantly increase in size or have atypical histological or ultrasonographic features. We aim to describe the role of ESTD for the resection of an esop...

Endoscopic Tri-Modal Imaging (ETMI) With Optical Magnification in the Detection of Barrett's Early Neoplasia
Publication date: January 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 1, Issues 3–4 Author(s): Sarmed S. Sami , Philip Kaye , Krish Ragunath Early lesion detection and characterisation is vital to ensure accurate management in patients with gastrointestinal neoplasia. Endoscopic Tri-modal Imaging (ETMI) technology has been shown to improve the targeted detection of early dysplastic lesions in Barrett's Oesophagus, but these results were not confirmed in non-expert hands [1]. This technology incorporates high resolution while light endoscopy (HRE), Auto Fluorescence Imaging (AFI) and Narrow B...

Use of OTSC Device System for Closure of Fistulas in the Alimentary Tract – A Case Series
Conclusion With several new devices being introduced, it is difficult to judge the implementation of one tool over the others. This device has shown promising results for fistula closure if used knowing the limitation of the product. (Source: Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy)

The Short-Access Mother–Baby-(SAMBA) Cholangioscopy System
Publication date: January 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 1, Issues 3–4 Author(s): Volker Meves , Christian Ell , Eckart Frimberger , Jürgen Pohl Conventional mother–baby cholangioscopy systems have significant limitations including poor image resolution, limited maneuverability and fragile cholangioscopes. We propose the novel short-access mother–baby-(SAMBA) cholangioscopy system that involves a very short and flexible cholangioscope that is introduced in a dedicated mother duodenoscope with an extra distal side port. Clinical feasibility of this device is demonstrated in...

Endoscopic partial sphincterotomy coupled with large balloon papilla dilation – Single stage approach for management of extra-hepatic bile ducts macro-lithiasis
In this report we describe our technique of partial endoscopic sphincterotomy plus large papillary balloon dilation in the treatment of common bile duct and cystic duct macro-lithiasis. According to our clinical experience, we would like to focus on the technical points that have to be respected in order to reduce procedure's complications and to achieve successful clinical results We conclude that endoscopic partial sphincterotomy plus large papillary balloon dilation seems a promising, effective and safe approach to treat giant extrahepatic biliary calculi, if performed after correct patient selection and under establish...

Tumours in the Small Bowel
Publication date: January 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 1, Issues 3–4 Author(s): N. Kurniawan , C. Rüther , I. Steinbrück , P. Baltes , F. Hagenmüller , M. Keuchel Small bowel tumours are rare and originate from a wide variety of benign and malignant entities. Adenocarcinomas are the most frequent primary malignant small bowel tumours. Submucosal tumours like gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) or neuroendocrine tumours (NET) may show a central umbilication, pathologic vessels, bridging folds or an ulceration of the overlying mucosa. These signs help to differentiate ...

Endoscopic Therapy of Refractory Post-Papillotomy Bleeding With Electrocautery Forceps Coagulation Method Combined With Prophylactic Pancreatic Stenting
Conclusion We presented a new, effective and safe second line endoscopic hemostatic method in patients with therapy resistant post-papillotomy bleeding. Combination of prophylactic pancreatic stenting and thermal coagulation with coagulation forceps might be suggested as a rescue treatment in patients with severe post-papillotomy bleeding, resistant to standard endoscopic therapy.

Pyogenic Granuloma of the Ampulla of Vater
Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ampullary PG. In the medical literature, less than two dozen cases of PG are reported in the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, and colon. These patients usually present with gross or occult GI bleeding and anemia. GI PG can be curatively treated with endoscopic polypectomy or surgical resection. (Source: Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy)

Endoscopic Removal of an Esophageal Stent After Diffuse Hyperplastic Tissue Ingrowth
Publication date: January 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 1, Issues 3–4 Author(s): Ivo Boškoski , Andrea Tringali , Pietro Familiari , Vincenzo Bove , Vincenzo Perri , Guido Costamagna Endoscopic placement of esophageal Self-Expandable Metal Stents (SEMS) is a therapeutic option for post-surgical esophageal leaks. Partially covered SEMS are mainly designed for malignant esophageal strictures, but are used off-label to close post-surgical leaks due to their lower migration rate than fully covered SEMS, and better adherence to the esophageal wall. Partially covered esophageal S...

Grading the Quality of Bowel Preparation
Publication date: January 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 1, Issues 3–4 Author(s): Stijn J.B. Van Weyenberg In colonoscopy, even a complete examination has little diagnostic accuracy when the endoscopic view of the mucosa was impaired by residual stool. Therefore, an assessment of the visibility of the mucosa is important, in order to be able to judge the reliability of positive, but even more importantly, negative findings during colonoscopy. Insufficient visualization can result in lesions, especially small or flat ones, being missed. Poor bowel preparation may also result in dif...

Radiofrequency Ablation in Barrett's Esophagus
Publication date: January 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 1, Issues 3–4 Author(s): Vani J.A. Konda , Uzma D. Siddiqui , Irving Waxman Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an endoscopic modality used in the treatment of Barrett's esophagus. RFA may be performed using a balloon-based catheter or using one of the probe catheters that attaches to the distal end of the endoscope. Here we demonstrate step-by-step instruction in using radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of Barrett's esophagus and highlight key concepts in the technique.
