Submucosal xanthachromia after endoscopic mucosal resection: laparotomy or conservative therapy?

JGES guidelines for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection/endoscopic mucosal resection.

Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become common in recent years. Suitable lesions for endoscopic treatment include not only early colorectal carcinomas but also many types of precarcinomatous adenomas. It is important to establish practical guidelines in which the preoperative diagnosis of colorectal neoplasia and the selection of endoscopic treatment procedures are properly...

Submucosal injection solution for gastrointestinal tract endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have provided new alternatives for minimally invasive treatment of gastrointestinal adenomas and early-stage cancers that involve a minimum risk of lymph-node metastasis. The use of submucosal injections is essential to the success of these endoscopic resection techniques. The "ideal" submucosal injection solution sho...

Endoscopic double-layered suturing: a novel technique for closure of large mucosal defects after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are widely accepted treatments for early colorectal neoplasms, but complications such as bleeding or perforation are often encountered, especially when the lesions being resected are large in size [1,2]. The closure of the mucosal defect reduces the risk of these complications [3,4]. Here, we report an effective techn...

Submucosal Endoscopic Tumor Resection

Guidelines for endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection for early gastric cancer.

In response to the rapid and wide acceptance and use of endoscopic treatments for early gastric cancer, the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES), in collaboration with the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association (JGCA), has produced 'Guidelines for ESD and EMR for Early Gastric Cancer', as a set of basic guidelines in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine. These Gu...
