Cold EMR vs. Hot EMR for the removal of sessile serrated polyps larger than 10 mm: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) appears to be a promising technique for the removal of sessile serrated polyps (SSPs) ≥ 10 mm. To assess the effectiveness and safety of EMR for removing SSPs ≥ 10 mm, we con... (Source: BMC Surgery)

Cold endoscopic mucosal resection versus cold snare polypectomy for colorectal lesions: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Conclusions The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that C-EMR has similar efficacy and safety to CSP, but significantly increases the procedure time.PROSPERO: CRD42023439605.

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)
