ASGE ENDO Hangout for GI Fellows - Optical Diagnosis of Colon Polyps and Magnifying Endoscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, ASG Endo Hangouts for GI Fellows is discussed as a series of webinars featuring expert physicians in gastrointestinal endoscopy. The webinar format is explained, including the interactive Q&A feature and the availability of recorded sessions for ongoing access. <br /><br />The focus of the webinar is on optical diagnosis of colon polyps and magnifying endoscopy. Dr. Douglas Wodomura from Queen's University serves as the moderator, introducing panelists Dr. Beshara, Dr. Eric Lam, and Dr. Shahidi, who have expertise in gastrointestinal endoscopy. <br /><br />The presentation dives into the Paris classification, which categorizes colonic polyps based on their macroscopic appearance and provides risk assessment for submucosal carcinoma. The LST classification is also discussed, categorizing lesions based on surface architecture and providing risk assessment for fibrosis and submucosal carcinoma. <br /><br />The NICE classification, utilizing narrowband imaging, is introduced to categorize lesions based on vascular and surface patterns. The limitations of NICE classification are highlighted, leading to the introduction of the JNET classification to further stratify type 2 lesions. <br /><br />Throughout the presentation, the audience is engaged with interactive elements such as example identification and polling to assess knowledge of the discussed classifications. <br /><br />The video ends with acknowledgments to the panelists and moderators for their contributions to the presentation, which provided valuable insights into assessing and characterizing colonic polyps. High-risk features, management approaches, and challenges in distinguishing between different types of polyps were also addressed, giving participants a better understanding of clinical practice in this area.
