The Best of ASGE Endoscopy from DDW (On-Demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a session titled "Best of ASGE Research from DDW 2021," moderated by Vanessa Chamney, Professor of Medicine and Director of Endoscopic Ultrasonography at the University of Virginia. The session features presentations on various topics related to esophageal diseases. Dr. Vani Konda presents two studies on Zenker's diverticulum, comparing different approaches and their outcomes. A systematic review finds that a shorter myotomy is as effective as the standard approach for achalasia, with lower risk of reflux. Another study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of a second-generation TIF (transoral incisionless fundoplication) technique for treating reflux. Studies on dysplasia diagnosis in Barrett's esophagus explore the use of P53 immunohistochemistry and artificial intelligence techniques. Molecular imaging and the use of Watts for dysplasia detection after treatment are also discussed. The session concludes with studies on ablative methods for Barrett's esophagus and the efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for neoplasia.
