ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course: Clinical Challenges and Real-Time Decision Making in GI Endoscopy (Live and Virtual) | May 2023-Session 7 - Video Based Lecture 1 - Real Time Endoscopic Decision Making for Colon EMR

Session 7 - Video Based Lecture 1 - Real Time Endoscopic Decision Making for Colon EMR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses real-time endoscopic decision-making for colon EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection). They emphasize the importance of making confident and efficient decisions during colonoscopy to improve outcomes. Using examples, the speaker demonstrates how they use various tools and techniques to detect and diagnose different types of colon lesions, such as thickening of the fold and erythema. They explain the decision-making process for different lesions, including when to refer for surgical removal. The speaker also discusses the use of classification systems, such as the PARIS system, and highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and resection of colorectal lesions to prevent cancer incidents and reduce the need for surgery. The video concludes with key take-home points, including the consideration of lesion size, morphology, and predicted histology in real-time decision-making. Credits: N/A
