Safety and efficacy of physician-administered balanced-sedation for the endoscopic mucosal resection of large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps
Conclusions Physician-administered balanced sedation for the EMR of LNPCPs is safe. Peri-procedural AEs are infrequent, transient, rarely require admission (<1%), and are experienced in similar frequencies to those receiving anesthetist-managed sedation.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided perivascular pancreatic radiofrequency ablation using a hydroxyethyl starch solution prior to pancreatectomy
Conclusions Preoperative perivascular augmented RFA using HES was safe, and in the pancreatic animal model, the best timeframe was within 24 hours before pancreatic surgery. This technique might improve resectability in selected borderline and locally advanced pancreatic cancers.

Single-operator cholangioscopy system for management of acute cholecystitis secondary to choledocholithiasis
This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) + EyeMax (single-operator cholangioscopy system; SOC) (i.e., ERCP+SOC) for the treatment of choledocholithasis-associated acute cholecystitis. Twenty-five patients were evaluated between January 2022 and June 2023. The success rate (technical + clinical), procedure time, postoperative recovery, postoperative length of hospital stay, and complications rates were recorded. The procedure and clinical success rates were 92% (23/25) and 96% (24/25), respectively. The mean procedure time was 36.6±10 minutes (standard...

Utility of gastroscopy in the left lateral semi-recumbent position: A blood-free coup!
Conclusions These data show that endotherapy in the left lateral semi-recumbent position is feasible, safe, and effective. It should be done when endoscopy in the left lateral decubitus position reveals a pool of blood in the fundus and there is inadequate visualization of the fundus.

Repeat bidirectional double-balloon enteroscopy 1 year later may be proper in Peutz-Jeghers patients with difficult-to-reach polyps
Conclusions The difficult-to-reach polyps may have a low risk of immediate symptomatic intussusception, possibly due to limited bowel mobility by extraluminal adhesions, and the likelihood of reaching them at repeat DBE was substantial. Hence, repeat DBE 1 year later may be proper in such patients with PJS.
