Repairing the Human Esophagus with Tissue Engineering (On-Demand) | April 2021
Release Date: April 2021
Viewing Time:
1 hour
Description
Esophageal injuries such as partial-thickness defects from mucosal resections can result in fibrosis and refractory strictures. Similarly, full-thickness patch defects like perforations can lead to leaks and fistulae. Esophagectomy done for malignant and benign conditions can cause full-thickness, long-segment, circumferential defects. These require colon or gastric conduits to maintain luminal continuity. These conduits can be associated with significant morbidities leading to poor quality of life. During this presentation we will highlight some of the advances made in repairing the esophagus by using principles of tissue engineering.

Optimal Viewing Experience on GI Leap
Because all browsers continually roll out new versions and updates, it is not always practical to point to a particular browser as "better" than another. Because browsers are free, you can easily shift from one to another for various purposes. Whatever browser you are using, here are some tips for better streaming and viewing of ASGE videos:

  1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
  2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
  3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
  4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
