ASGE Endoscopy Live: Colonoscopy (On-demand) | November 2024-Endoscopy Live Panel Discussion and Final remarks

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion revolves around the use of various medical techniques and tools in endoscopic procedures, focusing on distal tip attachments and the preference between using endocuffs or caps. Participants share their practices, highlighting how endocuffs can be beneficial for certain procedures despite potential challenges like intubating the ileocecal valve. The conversation also covers the use of snares for polyp resection, emphasizing the choice between cold and hot snares based on polyp size and location. The panelists discuss the potential transition to endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for specific cases to reduce recurrence risk, although its general clinical relevance remains limited. There's also a consideration of using additives like epinephrine in lifting solutions, with varied practices based on procedural context, particularly in vascular areas like the rectum. Concluding, the discussion underlines the importance of adapting techniques to one's practice while following evolving guidelines and research findings.
