The Best of ASGE Endoscopy from DDW | June 2021-Upper GI and Small Bowel

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Uzma Siddiqui presents several abstracts related to the upper GI tract and small bowel at the DDW conference. The first abstract discusses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and classify gastric lesions. The AI system showed good accuracy in detecting cancerous lesions but struggled with non-cancerous lesions. The second abstract introduces a novel rigid overtube, which makes enteroscopy easier and more accessible for endoscopists. The third abstract examines the efficacy of a motorized spiral enteroscopy device in detecting small bowel lesions and performing interventions. The device showed good technical success and short procedure times. The fourth abstract discusses the long-term survival outcomes of endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer and duodenal neuroendocrine tumors. The fifth abstract compares standard hemostasis therapy to over-the-scope clip (OTSC) therapy in treating bleeding peptic ulcers. The authors recommend using OTSC therapy after standard therapy fails. The sixth abstract explores the use of hemospray in addition to standard therapy for GI bleeds. The study showed high rates of hemostasis but a significant re-bleeding rate. The final abstract discusses various techniques to improve gastric outflow, including the G-POM myotomy procedure and partially covered duodenal stents. Overall, these abstracts highlight promising technologies and techniques in the field of gastroenterology.
