Incomplete resection rates of 4- to 20-mm non-pedunculated colorectal polyps when using wide-field cold snare resection with routine submucosal injection
Conclusions Use of CSP-SI results in lower IRRs compared to what has previously been reported in the literature for hot or cold snare polypectomy when not using wide-field cold snare resection with submucosal injection. CSP-SI showed an excellent safety and efficacy profile, however comparative studies to CSP without SI are required to confirm these results.

Automatic textual description of colorectal polyp features: explainable artificial intelligence
Endosc Int Open 2023; 11: E513-E518 DOI: 10.1055/a-2071-6652Computer-aided diagnosis systems (CADx) can improve colorectal polyp (CRP) optical diagnosis. For integration into clinical practice, better understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) by endoscopists is needed. We aimed to develop an explainable AI CADx capable of automatically generating textual descriptions of CRPs. For training and testing of this CADx, textual descriptions of CRP size and features according to the Blue Light Imaging (BLI) Adenoma Serrated International Classification (BASIC) were used, describing CRP surface, pit pattern, and vessels. CADx ...

Invasive CO2 monitoring with arterial line compared to end tidal CO2 during peroral endoscopic myotomy
Conclusions Universal PaCO2 monitoring contributes to increased procedure and anesthesia times without any decrease in AEs in patients undergoing POEM. CO2 monitoring with an arterial line should only be performed in patients with major cardiovascular comorbidities; in all other patients, ETCO2 is an appropriate tool.

Novel anti-reflux biliary metal stent with a distal tapered end for distal malignant biliary obstruction: a feasibility study
Conclusions Endoscopic placement of the newly developed TMS in patients with DMBO is technically feasible and safe, and the TRBO was remarkably long. The anti-reflux mechanism based on the difference in diameter may be effective, and a randomized controlled trial with a conventional SEMS is required.

Investigation of the efficacy of an innovative endoscope drying and storage method in a simulated ERCP setting
Conclusions Positive cultures for gut microorganisms were often found in wet endoscopes post-decontamination. The PlasmaTYPHOON is an effective fast-drying method capable of abolishing nearly all remaining microorganisms after decontamination provided no biofilm has developed, even when using a supraphysiological concentration of bacterial load. The clinical use of the PlasmaTYPHOON has the potential to reduce endoscope contamination, the use of wet contaminated endoscopes and therefore the risk of patient infection.

Benefits of precise endoscopic incision on post-dilation mucosal scars to treat refractory esophageal stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection
Endosc Int Open 2023; 11: E409-E412 DOI: 10.1055/a-2048-1532Endoscopic dilation (ED) is the mainstream treatment for esophageal stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, some complex esophageal strictures do not respond well to dilation. Endoscopic radial incision (ERI) has proved to be effective in treating anastomotic strictures, but it is rarely used to treat post-ESD esophageal strictures due to technical difficulties and risks, not to mention the optimal method and timing to perform ERI. Here, we developed an integrated procedure in which ED was performed first, followed by ERI on the stiff scar...
