ASGE Postgraduate Course at ACG 2022: Expanding the Scope of Fundamental and Advanced Endoscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Aris Ahakian discusses two interesting cases. The first case involves a lesion found in the ascending colon, which is difficult to remove due to a tattoo underneath it. Dr. Ahakian decides to use underwater EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection) to remove the lesion in four pieces quickly and cleanly. The second case involves a lesion in the rectum, which is a combination of a dominant sessile nodule and a flat, laterally spreading component. Dr. Ahakian decides to remove the lesion using ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) with the help of traction using a wire loop device. Both lesions were found to be benign. The purpose of choosing the appropriate resection method is to ensure clean histological margins for accurate evaluation. No credits were mentioned in the video.
