Best of ASGE at DDW | October 2026-Recorded webinar

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The ASGE webinar reviewed notable endoscopy research presented at Digestive Disease Week 2026 and updates for future meetings.<br /><br />Featured studies found that gaze guidance encouraging colonoscopists to inspect the screen’s periphery increased abnormal findings; one day of antibiotics was non-inferior to 4–7 days after adequate biliary drainage for cholangitis; and Barrett’s surveillance sometimes detected cancer beyond an early, curable stage, underscoring the need for better strategies. Other research suggested EUS-guided gastroenterostomy may reduce recurrent malignant gastric outlet obstruction compared with enteral stenting, while EUS-guided biliary drainage and ERCP had similar long-term outcomes in patients surviving beyond a year. A first-in-human robotic colonoscopy study showed technical feasibility and reduced perceived workload.<br /><br />Three videos demonstrated advanced techniques: ampullary ESD with suturing, autologous mucosal grafting for complex defects and fistulas, and an EUS-guided approach to pancreaticojejunostomy stenosis after Whipple surgery.<br /><br />Organizers also described DDW’s unified, cross-society programming, streamlined abstract categories, expanded electronic posters, and sustainability efforts. ASGE abstract awards will recognize health-equity research, trainee quality-improvement projects, and fellow-led EUS research. DDW 2027 will take place in Washington, D.C., May 15–18; abstract submissions open October 22 and close December 2.
