Manually driven versus motor driven hysteroscopic tissue removal system for polypectomy: Long-term results
CONCLUSION: This long-term follow-up study showed no statistically significant difference in the recurrence and persistence of abnormal uterine bleeding between a manually and motor driven hysteroscopic tissue removal system for polypectomy.PMID:38492506 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.03.013 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the jejunum in a patient with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome: A case report
CONCLUSION: We conclude that patients with long-term, nonspecific abdominal complaints are good candidates for evaluation and investigation without overlooking small bowel malignancy. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome was a potential risk factor in our case.PMID:38471213 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijscr.2024.109519 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Manually driven versus motor driven hysteroscopic tissue removal system for polypectomy: Long-term results
Multiple studies have investigated the effectiveness of several hysteroscopic techniques for polypectomy [1 –4]. Polyp recurrence occurs in 4.9 % [5]. This appears to be lower when using mechanical hysteroscopic tissue removal systems (TRS) compared to electrosurgical resection [6]. With increasing follow-up time, more polyp recurrences are observed [7]. Other risk factors for polyp recurrence are a l arger polyp size and the occurrence of symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) during follow-up time.

A solitary polyp of the stomach
A 64-year-old man presented to the gastroenterology department applying for gastroscopy for cancer screening. He was asym-ptomatic. Physical examination and routine laboratory tests showed no abnormalities. Gastroscopy revealed a 0.9 cm polyp located at the junctional region between the antrum and the body (Fig. 1A), which was markedly congested. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging showed regularly arranged glandular tubes (Fig. 1B). Histopathological examination of endoscopic mucosal resection specimens revealed irregular hyperplastic glands with focal cystic dilatation (Fig. (Source: Digestive and Liver Disease)

Underwater versus conventional endoscopic mucosal resection for ≥10 mm sessile or flat colorectal polyps: A systematic review and meta-analysis
by Xue Wang, Yue Wang, Xueyan Cao, Chunmei Zhang, Lin Miao Background and aimUnderwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) has been an emerging substitute for conventional EMR (CEMR). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at comparing the efficiency and safety of the two techniques for removing ≥10 mm sessile or flat colorectal polyps. MethodsPubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase databases were searched up to February 2023 to identify eligible studies that compared the outcomes of UEMR and CEMR. This meta-analysis was conducted on the en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rate, complete resection rate, procedure t...

The role of advanced endoscopy in appendiceal polyp management and outcomes
ConclusionAdvanced endoscopic interventions for appendiceal orifice mucosal neoplasms can be performed with a low rate of complications and early recurrence. While conventionally lesions at the appendiceal orifice are often treated with surgical resection, advanced endoscopic interventions are an alternative approach with promising results which allow for cecal preservation.
