Overcoming Access Issues Underneath the Ileocecal Valve

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a challenging case of removing a benign lesion located underneath the ileocecal valve using an endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) procedure. The speaker explains the difficulties encountered during the procedure and explores different techniques to improve access to the lesion. Ultimately, the solution proposed is to switch to an upper endoscope with a tighter turning radius, allowing for better visualization and maneuverability in the narrow space. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of choosing the right scope to successfully treat challenging lesions and avoid unnecessary surgery. This video is part of the ASGE SuTab tip of the week series.
