Colorectal Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resection: A Portuguese Multicenter Experi...

Abstract Introduction: Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is a minimally invasive endoscopic technique that allows the resection of complex colorectal lesions, such as non-lifting, peri-appendicular, peri-diverticula, and subepithelial lesions. Published data suggest that EFTR has a technical success and R0 resection rates of 89 and 79%, respectively, and an adverse event rate of 12%. This study summari...

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in a Patient with Gastric Leiomyosarcoma: An A...

Approach to the Do-Not-Resuscitate Patient in the Periendoscopic Period: Survey...

Abstract Background and Aims: Cardiopulmonary arrest is a rare but possible complication of endoscopic procedures, particularly when performed under sedation and/or analgesia. Hospitalized patients, and probably those with a Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) order, present a higher risk of severe cardiopulmonary complications during endoscopy. The request for endoscopic examination, particularly urgent procedures, is be...

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Resections Larger than 10 cm: Outcomes fro...

Abstract Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive technique for en bloc resection of superficial neoplastic lesions, independent of their size. However, for giant gastrointestinal superficial neoplasia, the risk of invasive cancer is higher, and ESD is typically challenging. Despite the increasing literature on giant resections, data on their efficacy and safety are still lacki...

Outcomes and Learning Curve in Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Rectal Neopl...

Abstract Introduction: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of lesions with severe submucosal fibrosis has been associated with worse outcomes, such as lower curative resection rate and higher incidence of adverse events. This study aims to investigate its true impact on rectal ESD performed in the West and to assess predictive factors of severe fibrosis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including ...

Current Approach to Dysphagia: A Review Focusing on Esophageal Motility Disorde...

Abstract Background: Dysphagia is a prevalent condition which may severely impact the patient’s quality of life. However, there are still lacking standardized therapeutic options for esophageal motility disorders. Summary: Dysphagia is defined as a subjective sensation of difficulty swallowing which can result from oropharyngeal or esophageal etiologies. Regarding esophageal dysphagia, after excluding structura...
