ASGE Postgraduate Course at ACG: Innovative Practices for the Endoscopist of Today, Tomorrow and Beyond (On-demand) | October 2023-Updates in the Endoscopic Management of IBD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Tanvi Deer from Emory University discusses updates in the endoscopic management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). She focuses on various IBD-related endoscopic techniques being used to manage strictures, fissures, and abscesses, as well as neoplasia associated with colitis. Advanced endoscopic techniques, such as endoscopic balloon dilation, stricturotomy, stricturoplasty, and stent placements, can be used as adjuncts to medical and surgical therapies. These techniques can potentially delay or prevent the need for surgery, provide symptomatic improvement, and have low rates of adverse events. However, it is important to consider patient candidacy and characteristics before choosing a particular method. Dr. Deer also highlights the need for careful surveillance and targeted biopsies in high-risk patients with colitis-associated neoplasia. Longer-term data is needed to fully understand the efficacy of these endoscopic techniques in managing IBD.
