Thin-probe endoscopic ultrasonography for surgical resection of early colorectal neoplasms: A pilot study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the results of our therapeutic recommendations for EMR and surgical operation using thin-probe EUS for patients with early colorectal neoplasms. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the therapeutic recommendation for using EUS and the results in 63 lesions of 63 patients. When the depth of the change for the third layer (submucosal layer) was 1 millimeter or more, we recommended surgical operation(EUS operation-recommended group). Results: Surgical operation was suitable for all of lesions in the EUS-operation-recommended group (23 lesions of 23 patients). Conclusion: We think that a change of 1 millimeter or more in the third layer (corresponding to the submucosal layer) in EUS for colorectal neoplasms may be a useful finding for surgical decision making.

Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Approach for Pituitary Adenomas: a Prospective Review of Our Early Experience
Background & Aim: Pituitary adenomas are a part of a dissimilar group of benign neoplasms. The development of endoscopic techniques for surgery of paranasal sinuses has increased the opportunity for an endoscopic approach with regard to the pituitary gland. Minimally invasive endoscopic pituitary surgery, in turn, permits a more thorough tumor resection and fewer associated surgical complicatio...

Objectives. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a promising technique to treat early colorectal neoplasms by facilitating en bloc resection without size limitations. Although ESD for early gastrointestinal epithelial neoplasms has been popular in Japan, clinical experience with colorectal ESD has been rarely reported in Taiwan. Methods. From March 2006 to December 2011, 92 consecutive pat...

متن کاملTips and Tricks for Better Endoscopic Treatment of Colorectal Tumors: Usefulness of Cap and Band in Colorectal Endoscopic Mucosal Resection
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is an endoscopic alternative to surgical resection of mucosal and submucosal neoplastic lesions. Prior to the development of knives, EMR could be performed with accessories to elevate the lesion. After the development of various knives, en bloc resection was possible without other accessories. So, recently, simple snaring without suction or endoscopic submucos...
