ASGE JGES Primer ESD | September 2022-Welcome and Introduction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is the introduction to the ASGE JGS ESD hands-on training course in Chicago. Naofisa Yahagi from Keio University and Norio Fukami from Mayo Clinic are the course directors. The ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) training course was originally developed by Professor Kenneth Wong from Mayo Clinic when he was the president of ASGE. ESD is a procedure developed in Japan more than 20 years ago. Initially, it was considered risky due to the lack of experience in making mucosal incisions and dissecting submucosal tissue. Various original devices were created to enhance safety during the procedure, and it has become popular in Japan. Gastric ESD was approved by the Japanese government in 2006, esophageal ESD in 2009, and colorectal ESD in 2012. The course aims to teach the basic techniques of ESD and emphasize the importance of avoiding risky procedures. The video also introduces the faculty members and thanks the commercial supporters of the course. Evaluation and feedback are encouraged from participants.
