Video Tip: Principles of Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Endoscopic Evaluation - Prague Classification | November 2023-Video Tip: Prague Classification

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this sponsored ASG video tip, they discuss the Prague classification, which is a standardized way of reporting the length of Barrett's mucosa. The process involves identifying landmarks such as the diaphragmatic hiatus, GE junction, and squamous columnar junction, measuring the circumferential extent, and reporting the C number and M number for the Barrett's mucosa. The Prague classification does not include islands of note or non-contiguous segments. It is important to also report any visible abnormalities, size, and location, as well as the presence of hiatal hernia and esophagitis. The goal is to provide a standardized report that is easily understood by readers.
