ASGE Masterclass: Barrett’s Esophagus, GERD and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (On Demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speakers discuss various questions related to endoscopy and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). They address topics such as the use of 4K endoscopy, techniques for clearing mucus during endoscopy, biopsy vs direct endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for nodularity on Barrett's esophagus, and the use of endoscopic therapy and fundoplication for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus and GERD. They conclude that regression of intestinal metaplasia (IM) is rare and not likely to be achieved through fundoplication or medical therapy alone. The decision between medical therapy and surgery should be based on the individual patient's preferences and circumstances. The speakers also mention that weak esophageal motility may limit the options for fundoplication in some patients. The video ends with the speakers agreeing to take a break before continuing the discussion. No credits are given.
