Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic full-thickness resection (FTR) in the treatment of colorectal lesions <= 30 mm, comparing it to endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). It found that FTR had significantly higher technical success rate, R0 and curative resection rate, as well as lower complication rate compared to ESD, but had a higher incidence of local residual neoplasia. Further research, including randomized trials, is needed to compare both resection techniques.

Summary: The study found that the use of CSI-EMR does not increase the complete or en bloc resection rate of colorectal lesions with SSL endoscopic features, but does increase the R0 resection rate. Although the procedure time is longer for CSI-EMR, there is no significant difference in adverse events or recurrence rate compared to EMR. Further evaluation is needed to assess the association of CSI-EMR with R0 resection and non-recurrence.

Summary: This study evaluated the application of combined endoscopic and robotic surgery in colorectal surgery, finding that compared to traditional combined endoscopic laparoscopic surgery, the combined endoscopic and robotic surgery can reduce operative time, complication rates, and hospital length of stay. Pathological analysis showed a majority of cases were tubular adenomas.

Summary: The study evaluated the feasibility and safety of Underwater Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (UEMR) for colorectal lesions, finding that UEMR could achieve a high en bloc resection rate and low adverse event rate compared to conventional methods. UEMR may be considered as an effective and safe alternative for treating colorectal lesions.

Summary: Although the incidence and mortality rate of gastric cancer seem to be decreasing, it remains a significant global health issue. Early gastric cancer can be effectively treated with endoscopic resection, which has high rates of success and fewer adverse effects compared to surgical resection. However, proper patient selection and surveillance are crucial for ensuring optimal outcomes and detecting potential metachronous lesions. This review summarizes the current evidence on the endoscopic treatment of early gastric cancer, including short- and long-term outcomes and post-resection management.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the feasibility of endoscopic resection (ER) for pedunculated duodenal lesions, especially for large lesions. The results showed that ER could achieve a high en bloc resection rate without any perforations, even in extremely large lesions, suggesting that it may be an alternative to surgical resection for large pedunculated duodenal lesions.

Summary: This study retrospectively investigated the clinicopathological characteristics, feasibility, and safety of endoscopic resection (ER) for jejunoileal lesions (JILs). The results showed favorable short-term and long-term outcomes for ER of JILs. Both endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) can safely and effectively resect JILs in appropriately selected cases.

Summary: This study compared the tissue effects of different electrosurgical currents during endoscopic mucosal resection in a porcine model. The results showed that for snare resection, there was no significant difference between MCC and LPCC in terms of tissue effects on the colon wall. However, for margin ablation, APC was less uniform and complete compared with STSC.

Summary: Gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors (SETs) are often discovered during routine endoscopy, and new endoscopic techniques have made it possible to remove these tumors without the need for surgery. This review examines the outcomes, complications, advantages, and disadvantages of endoscopic treatment for SETs.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a modified CAL-WR. The results showed that CAL-WR was effective in reducing complications and achieving high technical success rate and radicality. Therefore, CAL-WR is a promising organ-preserving approach in cases where complete or partial excision is not feasible.

Summary: The efficacy of precutting endoscopic mucosal resection with SOUTEN (PEMR-S) for colorectal lesions was analyzed. The results showed that PEMR-S achieved high en bloc resection rates for colorectal lesions of 20-30 mm, although it led to longer procedure times.

Summary: Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is an effective modality for the resection of colorectal lesions, with high technical success and margin-negative (R-0) resection rate and a relatively low risk of adverse events and recurrence. Lesion size has an impact on R-0 resection rate and overall procedure-associated adverse event rates, with larger lesions associated with lower R-0 resection rate and higher adverse event rates.

Summary: The utilization of neuroendoscopic ultrasonic aspirator (NUA) for resection of intraventricular lesions appears to be a safe and valuable tool, achieving gross/near total resection with transient morbidity observed in some cases. The type, size, consistency, and vascularization of the lesion may limit the purely endoscopic use of the NUA in selected cases.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed patients with dysplastic Barrett's esophagus and found that buried Barrett's mucosa was identified in 7% of cases, even in treatment-naive patients. The proposed endoscopic features showed a diagnostic accuracy of 79% in patients with histologically confirmed disease. These features may predict the presence of buried Barrett's mucosa, which could contain dysplasia or neoplasia.

Summary: This study provides a summary of the latest advances in the treatment of stricturing Crohn's disease patients, indicating that anti-TNF drug therapy and endoscopic balloon dilation are effective strategies for avoiding surgery, while other drug therapies do not show significant benefits. Further evaluation is needed to assess the potential greater benefits of combining therapies.

Summary: This study evaluated the current practice in gastric ulcer follow-up and found a low incidence of malignancy. Most malignancies were diagnosed with biopsy during the initial gastroscopy, with a malignancy yield of 2% from follow-up gastroscopy. The diagnostic yield of endoscopic follow-up may be low in ulcers with benign appearance and adequate histology.

Summary: This study analyzed 1217 gastric cancer cases reported to the Victorian Cancer Registry between 2011 and 2016, finding that 20% of cases met histological criteria for early gastric cancer suitable for ESD. The majority of EGC cases met criteria for ESD, yet 86% of actual treatments involved surgery. Systems should be implemented to improve training, accreditation, and access to ESD in order to increase its utilization.

Summary: The study investigated the effectiveness of drug treatment on Crohn's disease strictures and found that the strictures were responsive to drug therapy. The intensification of drug therapy resulted in less treatment failure, reduced inflammation associated with strictures, and improved stricture morphology, although these differences were not significantly different from standard therapy.
