ASGE JGES Primer ESD (On-Demand) | September 2022-Welcome and Introduction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Naofisa Yahagi from Keio University and Norio Fukami from Mayo Clinic welcome viewers to the ASGE JGS ESD hands-on training course in Chicago. They explain that the course was originally developed by Professor Kenneth Wong from Mayo Clinic and has been held annually since 2013. They acknowledge that ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) was initially considered risky due to the lack of experience in circumferential mucosal incision and dissecting submucosal tissue. To address this, several original devices were developed in Japan to ensure safety during the procedure. They share that ESD has become a standard practice in Japan, with over 80,000 cases performed annually. In contrast, the procedure is less common in the United States due to the lack of case volume and experienced teachers. The video introduces the course faculty, both American and Japanese, who will be teaching the participants. The course is divided into a primary course, focusing on basic ESD techniques, and an advanced course for experienced practitioners. Viewers are encouraged to engage in interactive sessions and ask questions. The video also includes acknowledgments of commercial support and instructions for the hands-on lab sessions. Participants are advised to change into scrub attire for the hands-on portion and to refrain from bringing food and drinks into the lab. The video ends with a reminder to provide feedback and complete an online evaluation of the course.
