Endoscopic resection of upper gastrointestinal lesions using the colonic Ovesco full-thickness resection device: Retrospective observational case series of 22 cases
Conclusions Upper gastrointestinal EFTR using the colonic Ovesco FTRD is feasible without pre-dilation of the upper esophageal sphincter or pylorus. This study further confirms acceptable efficacy and safety in upper gastrointestinal use.

Frequency and nature of endoscopic and pathologic errors leading to referral for endoscopic resection to a tertiary center
Conclusions Endoscopists at tertiary centers should expect referrals to clarify the nature of colorectal lesions as neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Community endoscopists with equivocal endoscopic findings and unexpected or equivocal pathology results can consider pathology review at their center or at an expert center before referral for endoscopic or surgical resection.
