Association of direct oral anticoagulant and delayed bleeding with pharmacokinetics after endoscopic submucosal dissection. Gastrointest Endosc 2024; 99:721-731.e4. [PMID: 38042206 DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2023.11.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pharmacokinetic parameters, such as drug plasma level at trough, time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax), and coagulation factor Xa (FXa) activity generally predict factors for the anticoagulant effects of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Although GI bleeding is a major adverse event after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), little is known about the association between post-ESD bleeding in patients taking DOACs and the pharmacologic parameters. This study aimed to evaluate pharmacologic risk factors for post-ESD bleeding in patients taking DOACs. METHODS We prospectively evaluated the incidence of post-ESD bleeding in patients taking DOACs between April 2018 and May 2022 at 21 Japanese institutions and investigated the association with post-ESD bleeding and pharmacologic factors, including plasma concentration and FXa activity at trough and Tmax. RESULTS The incidence of post-ESD bleeding was 12.8% (14 of 109; 95% confidence interval [CI], 7.2-20.6). Although plasma DOAC concentration and plasma level/dose ratio at trough and Tmax varied widely among individuals, a significant correlation with plasma concentration and FXa activity was observed (apixaban: correlation coefficient, -0.893; P < .001). On multivariate analysis, risk factors for post-ESD bleeding in patients taking DOACs were higher age (odds ratio [OR], 1.192; 95% CI, 1.020-1.392; P = .027) and high anticoagulant ability analyzed by FXa activity at trough and Tmax (OR, 6.056; 95% CI, 1.094-33.529; P = .039). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of post-ESD bleeding in patients taking DOACs was high, especially in older patients and with high anticoagulant effects of DOACs. Measurement of pharmacokinetic parameters of DOACs may be useful in identifying patients at higher risk of post-ESD bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several endoscopic treatments for iatrogenic perforations are currently available, with some limitations in terms of size, location, complexity, or cost. Our aims were to introduce a novel technique for closure, using an endoloop and clips, to assess its rate of technical success and post-resection complications. METHODS For closure of large perforations (diameter ≥ 10 mm), two similar techniques were implemented, using a single-channel endoscope. An endoloop was deployed through the operating channel or towed by an endoclip alongside the endoscope. Several clips were utilized to fix it on the muscular layer of defect's margins. The defect was closed, by fastening the loop either directly or after being reattached to the mobile hook. RESULTS This analysis included eleven patients (72% women, median age 68 years). Eight colorectal, one appendiceal, and two gastric lesions were resected, with a median perforation size of 15 mm. As confirmed by computed tomography, closure of wall defects was achieved successfully in all cases, using a median of 6 clips. Pneumoperitoneum was evacuated in 4 cases. The median hospitalization duration was 4 days, prophylactic antibiotics being prescribed for a median of 7 days. One patient had a small abdominal collection, without requiring drainage, while another presented post-resection bleeding from the mucosal defect. CONCLUSION The novel techniques, utilizing a single-channel endoscope, clips, and an endoloop, ensuring an edge-to-edge suture of muscular layer, proved to be safe, reproducible, and easy to implement. They exhibit an excellent technical success rate and a minimal incidence of non-severe complications.

Abstract
The incidence of giant gastric perforation occurring during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is exceedingly rare. Gastric perforation can arise from excessive air insufflation and is more prevalent in elderly patients with atrophic gastritis. Although giant gastric mucosal lacerations during diagnostic endoscopy have occasionally been reported, there are few reports of giant gastric perforation. The authors experienced a giant gastric perforation occurring in the normal mucosa during endoscopy in an 81-year-old woman with advanced gastric cancer. The patient had reduced gastric extensibility due to the advanced gastric cancer surrounding the entire lower part of her stomach. During continuous air insufflation, only the upper part of the stomach became overdistended, resulting in mucosal rupture and perforation. In addition, old age and the presence of atrophic gastritis contributed to the increased risk of mucosal rupture. The patient was treated successfully with endoscopic clips. This paper reports this case with a review of the relevant literature.

World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:2916-2931. [PMID: 37274799 PMCID: PMC10237096 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i19.2916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Delayed bleeding is a major and serious adverse event of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early-stage gastrointestinal tumors. The rate of post-ESD bleeding for gastric cancer is higher (around 5%-8%) than that for esophagus, duodenum and colon cancer (around 2%-4%). Although investigations into the risk factors for post-ESD bleeding have identified several procedure-, lesion-, physician- and patient-related factors, use of antithrombotic drugs, especially anticoagulants [direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin], is thought to be the biggest risk factor for post-ESD bleeding. In fact, the post-ESD bleeding rate in patients receiving DOACs is 8.7%-20.8%, which is higher than that in patients not receiving anticoagulants. However, because clinical guidelines for management of ESD in patients receiving DOACs differ among countries, it is necessary for endoscopists to identify ways to prevent post-ESD delayed bleeding in clinical practice. Given that the pharmacokinetics (e.g., plasma DOAC level at both trough and Tmax) and pharmacodynamics (e.g., anti-factor Xa activity) of DOACs are related to risk of major bleeding, plasma DOAC level and anti-FXa activity may be useful parameters for monitoring the anti-coagulate effect and identifying DOAC patients at higher risk of post-ESD bleeding.

Abstract
The present letter to editor is related to endoscopic mucosal ablation (EMA). EMA is safe and effective in the treatment of colonic polyps when endoscopic resection is not possible or available, but the indication of EMA should be determined for a further large number of studies. EMA should be used with caution for larger lesions.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic resection for the treatment of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) under single-channel gastroscopy and double-channel gastroscopy. We identified 154 patients with GISTs of the stomach who underwent endoscopic resection and were retrospectively analyzed at our hospital between May 2016 and March 2020, including 49 patients by single-channel gastroscopy and 105 patients by double-channel gastroscopy. We observed the clinical efficacy, complications, and safety of endoscopic resection of gastric GISTs, and the data were evaluated retrospectively. All patients underwent endoscopic resection successfully, without conversion to open surgery. In the single-channel gastroscopy group, 7 patients had lesions in the gastric cardia, 17 in the gastric fundus, 20 in the gastric corpus, and 5 in the gastric antrum. In the double-channel gastroscopy group, 13 patients had lesions in the gastric cardia, 34 in the gastric fundus, 46 in the gastric body, 10 in the gastric antrum, 1 in the pylorus, and 1 in the gastric angular incisure. The double-channel gastroscopy group had a shorter operation time than the single-channel gastroscopy group (59.9 ± 34.9 minutes vs 74.8 ± 26.7 minutes; P = .009 and P < .01, respectively), while they also had a lower perforation rate than the single-channel gastroscopy group (34.3% vs 51.0%; P = .048 and P < .05, respectively). No residual or recurrent lesions were discovered in any patients by gastroscopy reexamination. Both single-channel gastroscopy and double-channel gastroscopy can provide safe, effective, feasible endoscopic resection. However, double-channel gastroscopy has some distinct advantages in endoscopic resection.

Abstract
Background and study aims Perforations are a known adverse event of endoscopy procedures; a proposal for appropriate management should be available in each center as recommended by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. The objective of this study was to establish a charter for the management of endoscopic perforations, based on local evidence. Patients and methods Patients were included if they experienced partial or complete perforation during an endoscopic procedure between 2008 and 2018 (retrospectively until 2016, then prospectively). Perforations (size, location, closure) and management (imagery, antibiotics, surgery) were analyzed. Using these results, a panel of experts was asked to propose a consensual management charter. Results A total of 105 patients were included. Perforations occurred mainly during therapeutic procedures (91, 86.7%). Of the perforations, 78 (74.3 %) were diagnosed immediately and managed during the procedure; 69 of 78 (88.5 %) were successfully closed. Closures were more effective during therapeutic procedures (60 of 66, 90.9 %) than during diagnostic procedures (9 of 12, 75.0 %, P = 0.06). Endoscopic closure was effective for 37 of 38 perforations (97.4 %) < 0.5 cm, and for 26 of 34 perforations (76.5 %) ≥ 0.5 cm ( P < 0.05). For perforations < 0.5 cm, systematic computed tomography (CT) scan, antibiotics, or surgical evaluation did not improve the outcome. Four of 105 deaths (3.8 %) occurred after perforation, one of which was attributable to the perforation itself. Conclusions Detection and closure of perforations during endoscopic procedure had a better outcome compared to delayed perforations; perforations < 0.5 cm had a very good prognosis and CT scan, surgeon evaluation, or antibiotics are probably not necessary when the endoscopic closure is confidently performed. This work led to proposal of a local management charter.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As the aging of people in a society advances, the number of elderly patients older than 80 years in Japan with gastric cancer continues to increase. Although delayed ulcer bleeding is a major adverse event after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), little is known about characteristic risk factors for bleeding in elderly patients undergoing ESD. This study aimed to evaluate risk factors for delayed bleeding after ESD for gastric cancer in elderly patients older than 80 years. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the incidence of delayed bleeding after ESD in 10,320 patients with early-stage gastric cancer resected by ESD between November 2013 and January 2016 at 33 Japanese institutions and investigated risk factors for delayed bleeding in elderly patients older than 80 years. RESULTS The incidence of delayed bleeding in elderly patients older than 80 years was 5.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.6%-6.9%, 95/1,675), which was significantly higher than that in nonelderly (older than 20 years and younger than 80 years) patients (4.5%, 4.1%-5.0%, 393/8,645). Predictive factors for ESD-associated bleeding differed between nonelderly and elderly patients. On multivariate analysis of predictive factors at the time of treatment, risk factors in elderly patients were hemodialysis (odds ratio: 4.591, 95% CI: 2.056-10.248, P < 0.001) and warfarin use (odds ratio: 4.783, 95% CI: 1.689-13.540, P = 0.003). DISCUSSION This multicenter study found that the incidence of delayed bleeding after ESD in Japanese patients older than 80 years was high, especially in patients receiving hemodialysis and taking warfarin. Management of ESD to prevent delayed bleeding requires particular care in patients older than 80 years.

Pilot Study of Acupuncture's Antispasmodic Effect on Upper Gastrointestinal Tract during Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Early Gastric Cancer: Controlled Clinical Trial. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10143050. [PMID: 34300215 PMCID: PMC8305036 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10143050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 07/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A prospective study was conducted in patients with early-stage gastric cancer to determine the efficacy and safety of acupuncture stimulation as an antispasmodic compared with conventional medication during the procedure of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of the upper gastrointestinal tract. This study was a prospective single blinded quasi-randomized controlled trial. Seventy-three patients who were scheduled to undergo ESD for gastric cancer at Aizu Medical Center between 19 February 2016 and 30 June 2016 were assessed for eligibility for the study. Sixty out of 73 patients were included in the study and assigned into two intervention groups: medication group (MG) and acupuncture group (AG). Ease of the procedure was evaluated using modified NIWA classification (MNC) by endoscopist considering the frequency and amplitude of the upper gastrointestinal peristalsis. For the statistical analysis, Mann–Whitney test was used to compare the differences of MNC values (baseline and end of procedure) between two groups. The difference of MNC found in the AG (−2.00 (−3.0 to −2.0)) was significantly greater than that in the MG (−1.00 (−2.0 to −1.0), p < 0.0001, Mann–Whitney test). We consider that acupuncture to the abdomen could be an alternative antispasmodic method during upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedure.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic submucosal excavation (ESE) have been widely used and have gradually become the main endoscopic treatment for gastrointestinal mucosal and submucosal lesions. Whether antibiotics are necessary for fever after gastric ESD and ESE remain unclear. The aim of this study was to analyse the value of using antibiotics in patients without perforation after ESD or ESE with fever. Methods In this retrospective study, patients with fever without perforation after ESD or ESE from January 2014 to January 2019 were included and divided into 2 groups: the antibiotic group and the non-antibiotic group. Fever and hospitalization time were compared between the 2 groups after propensity score matching. Results Overall, 253 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the present study, with 186 patients in the non-antibiotic group and 67 patients in the antibiotic group before matching, 55 patients in the non-antibiotic group and 55 patients in the antibiotic group after matching with all baseline characteristics balanced (p > 0.05). The duration of fever was not significantly different between the 2 groups (p = 0.12). However, the median hospitalization stay in the antibiotic group was longer than that in the non-antibiotic group (8 vs 7, p = 0.007). Conclusions Antibiotics may be unnecessary for fever in patients without perforation and without serious co-morbidities after gastric ESD or ESE.

Abstract
1: ESGE recommends that each center implements a written policy regarding the management of iatrogenic perforations, including the definition of procedures that carry a higher risk of this complication. This policy should be shared with the radiologists and surgeons at each center. 2 : ESGE recommends that in the case of an endoscopically identified perforation, the endoscopist reports its size and location, with an image, and statement of the endoscopic treatment that has been applied. 3: ESGE recommends that symptoms or signs suggestive of iatrogenic perforation after an endoscopic procedure should be rapidly and carefully evaluated and documented with a computed tomography (CT) scan. 4 : ESGE recommends that endoscopic closure should be considered depending on the type of the iatrogenic perforation, its size, and the endoscopist expertise available at the center. Switch to carbon dioxide (CO2) endoscopic insufflation, diversion of digestive luminal content, and decompression of tension pneumoperitoneum or pneumothorax should also be performed. 5 : ESGE recommends that after endoscopic closure of an iatrogenic perforation, further management should be based on the estimated success of the endoscopic closure and on the general clinical condition of the patient. In the case of no or failed endoscopic closure of an iatrogenic perforation, and in patients whose clinical condition is deteriorating, hospitalization and surgical consultation are recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss endoscopic resection techniques of early gastrointestinal malignancy. The review will focus on the indications and outcomes of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). RECENT FINDINGS EMR is indicated for upper GI lesions less than 20 mm provided they can be easily lifted and have a low risk of submucosal invasion (SMI). ESD should be considered for esophageal and gastric lesions that are bulky, show intramucosal carcinoma, or have a risk of superficial submucosal invasion. With regard to colonic polyps, EMR is acceptable for the removal of large colonic polyps using a piecemeal technique. ESD can be reserved for rectal neuroendocrine tumors, fibrotic polyps, or polyps harboring early malignancy. In selected cases, particularly in lesions less than 2 cm in size, EMR can be safe and effective. For larger lesions or lesions with submucosal invasion, ESD is effective and curative. Choosing the best approach can be tailored for each patient depending on lesion size, pathology, and availability of local expertise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility and efficacy of single-channel gastroscopy, double-channel gastroscopy, and double gastroscopy in treating submucosal tumors in the cardia and gastric fundus. METHODS The data of 77 patients with submucosal tumors (SMTs) in the cardia and gastric fundus parts of the stomach who underwent single-channel gastroscopy, double-channel gastroscopy, and double gastroscopy were retrospectively analyzed. The observed therapeutic effect, complications, and local recurrence from these three groups were then compared. RESULTS All lesions were completely taken out under endoscopy, and the operation time for single-channel gastroscopy group was 20-90 min with an average of 44.5 min, and the postoperative hospitalization time was 5-9 days with an average of 7.5 days. The operation time for the double-channel gastroscopy group was 40-110 min with an average of 60.5 min, and the postoperative hospitalization time was 7-10 days with an average of 8.3 days, whereas the operation time of double gastroscopy group was 35-120 min with an average of 66.3 min, and the postoperative hospitalization time was 7-10 days with an average of 8.5 days. No patient was required to be transferred to the General Surgery Department for continuous treatment. Bleeding was noted from all the patients during operation, and hemostasis was performed successfully. Postoperative bleeding was not observed in any of the cases. Full-thickness resection was performed in all the three groups. No residual or recurrent lesions were detected via reexamination of gastroscopy in all the patients. CONCLUSION Single-channel gastroscopy, double-channel gastroscopy, and double gastroscopy present potential capability with distinctive advantages in the endoscopic treatment of submucosal tumors of the cardia and gastric fundus, and it also shows that appropriate operation methods should be selected based on the situation of an individual patient.

Abstract
Acute perforations are one of the recognised complications of both diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. The incidence rate varies according to the type of procedure and the anatomical location within the GI tract. For decades, surgical treatment has been the standard of care, but endoscopic closure has become a more popular approach, due to feasibility and the reduction of the burden of surgery. Various devices are available now such as through-the-scope clips, over-the-scope clips, endoscopic suturing devices, stents, bands and omental patch. All have been tested in studies done on humans or animal models, with a reasonable overall technical and clinical success rate, proving efficiency and feasibility of endoscopic closure. The choice of which device to use depends on the site and the size of the perforation. It also depends on availability of thee device and the endoscopist's experience. A number of factors that could predict success of endoscopic closure or favour surgical treatment have been suggested in different studies. After successful endoscopic closure, patients are usually kept nil by mouth and receive antibiotics for a duration that varied between different studies.

Abstract
Colon perforations are difficult to resolve because they occur unexpectedly and infrequently. If the clinician is unprepared or lacks training in dealing with perforations, the clinical prognosis will be affected, which can lead to legal issues. We describe here the proper approach to the management of perforations, including deciding on endoscopic or surgical treatment, selection of endoscopic devices, endoscopic closure procedures, and general management of perforations that occur during diagnostic or therapeutic colonoscopy.

Abstract
AIM To prospectively investigate the efficacy and safety of clip-flap assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric tumors.
METHODS From May 2015 to October 2016, we enrolled 104 patients with gastric cancer or adenoma scheduled for ESD at Shiga University of Medical Science Hospital. We randomized patients into two subgroups using the minimization method based on location of the tumor (upper, middle or lower third of the stomach), tumor size (< 20 mm or > 20 mm) and ulcer status: ESD using an endoclip (the clip-flap group) and ESD without an endoclip (the conventional group). Therapeutic efficacy (procedure time) and safety (complication: Gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation) were assessed.
RESULTS En bloc resection was performed in all patients. Four patients had delayed bleeding (3.8%) and two had perforation (1.9%). No significant differences in en bloc resection rate (conventional group: 100%, clip flap group: 100%), curative endoscopic resection rate (conventional group: 90.9%, clip flap group: 89.8%, P = 0.85), procedure time (conventional group: 70.8 ± 46.2 min, clip flap group: 74.7 ± 53.3 min, P = 0.69), area of resected specimen (conventional group: 884.6 ± 792.1 mm2, clip flap group: 1006.4 ± 1004.8 mm2, P = 0.49), delayed bleeding rate (conventional group: 5.5%, clip flap group: 2.0%, P = 0.49), or perforation rate (conventional group: 1.8%, clip flap group: 2.0%, P = 0.93) were found between the two groups. Less-experienced endoscopists did not show any differences in procedure time between the two groups.
CONCLUSION For patients with early-stage gastric tumors, the clip-flap method has no advantage in efficacy or safety compared with the conventional method.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to clarify the safety of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) during the era of health insurance coverage starting from April 2012 in Japan. Methods Between April 2012 and May 2016, ESD was applied to 398 lesions in 373 patients. Risk factors for serious complications of colorectal ESD, perforation and post-ESD bleeding, were evaluated focusing on the resected specimen size, location, growth pattern, invasion depth, histopathology, postoperative clipping, and procedure time. In addition, the relationship between serious complications and patients' background characteristics was analyzed. Results Among 373 patients, perforation occurred in 12 patients and post-ESD bleeding in 19 patients. A univariate analysis showed that the risk factors for perforation were the lesion size, the resected specimen size, and a long operation time. A multivariate analysis showed that a long operation time was a risk factor for perforation during colorectal ESD. A univariate analysis indicated that significant risk factors for postoperative bleeding were a long operation time, rectal lesion, and cancer. All patients with serious complications were treated by an endoscopic procedure without blood transfusion or the need to convert to open surgery. Conclusion The present study suggests that colorectal ESD may be accepted with relative safety in Japan as a common therapeutic approach for early colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The present study was performed to evaluate the therapeutic safety and feasibility of purse-string sutures with nylon loops and metal clips under single-channel endoscopy to repair gastrointestinal wall defects that had previously developed during endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR). A multicenter prospective cohort study of 42 patients who had developed defects of the gastrointestinal wall during EFR was conducted from April 2012 to October 2016. All lesions were endoscopically repaired with either a single-channel gastroscope (research group, n=18) or double-channel gastroscope (control group, n=24). The patients' clinical features, purse-string suturing times and complication rates were analyzed. There was no significant difference in the perforation rate between the research and control groups. There were also no significant differences in the purse-string suturing time (research vs. control group, 10.5 vs. 14.6 min, respectively; P=0.214), specimen size or complication rate (subcutaneous emphysema) between the two groups. No recurrences were observed during the follow-up period. The current data suggest that application of purse-string sutures with nylon loops and metal clips for repair of EFR-induced gastrointestinal wall defects may be safely and feasibly applied under single-channel gastroscopy as well as under double-channel gastroscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Rebamipide is administered perorally to protect the gastric mucosa. We assessed the efficacy and safety of a novel rebamipide solution as a submucosal injection material for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using an in vivo porcine model. METHODS An endoscopist blinded to the test agents performed ESDs of hypothetical 30 mm lesions using a 2% rebamipide solution at 2 sites (rebamipide group) and a saline solution at 2 other sites (control group) in the stomachs of 8 pigs. The technical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. The gastric ulcer stages were evaluated by endoscopy once weekly for 4 weeks after the ESD to determine the healing score (1-6). The pigs were killed at 1 week (n = 2), 2 weeks (n = 2), and 4 weeks (n = 4) after the ESD for pathologic evaluation of ESD-induced ulcers and scarring. RESULTS There were no significant differences in any of the technical outcomes between the 2 groups, and no adverse events related to the ESD in any of the animals. The healing score was significantly higher in the rebamipide group than in the control group at 2 weeks (P = .027), 3 weeks (P = .034), and 4 weeks (P = .012). In the histopathologic assessment, fibrosis was significantly less extensive in the rebamipide group than in the control group at 2 weeks (P = .02) and 4 weeks (P = .04). CONCLUSIONS The rebamipide solution appeared to promote both the speed and quality of healing of ESD-induced ulcers by suppressing fibrosis.

Abstract
The feasibility of expanding the indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection to treat early gastric cancer based on long-term outcomes has shown conflicting results. This study aimed to investigate whether outcomes or adverse events associated with endoscopic submucosal dissection are comparable to those of surgery for early gastric cancer that including the absolute and expanded indications.Data of 159 early gastric cancers from 153 patients treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgery between January 2004 and October 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Early gastric cancers fulfilled the absolute or expanded indications with differentiated type adenocarcinoma were included.The endoscopic submucosal dissection and surgery group showed no significant difference in the incidence of residual disease (P = .48), local recurrence (P = .46), and metachronous cancer (P = .22). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no significant difference in 2-year (97.6% versus [vs] 92.4%; P = .45) and 5-year (95.8% vs 95.6%; P = .26) overall survival rate between 2 groups. There was also no significant difference in 2-year (100% vs 94.1%; P = .98) and 5-year (100% vs 98.4%; P = .89) disease-free survival rate. Early and late adverse events also showed no significant differences.For the treatment of early gastric cancer fulfilled absolute and expanded indications, endoscopic submucosal dissection is not inferior modality regarding the clinical outcomes and safety, compared with surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Currently, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely accepted standard treatment for early gastric cancer, but one challenging aspect of ESD is hemostasis. We developed a new hemostatic forceps (FD-Y0007) with the aim of achieving more effective hemostasis and investigated the hemostatic ability of the FD-Y0007 during gastric ESD in humans. METHODS This study was a prospective randomized controlled trial, which was conducted at a cancer referral center. Sixty-six patients who were scheduled to undergo ESD were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the Coagrasper or the FD-Y0007, which was used for hemostasis throughout the case. The primary end point was the time required to obtain hemostasis, which was measured for the first episode of bleeding during each case. RESULTS Hemostasis time for the first bleeding episode during ESD was 73.0 s for the Coagrasper and 21.5 s for the FD-Y0007 (P < 0.001). When all episodes of bleeding were included, hemostasis time was 56.8 s in the Coagrasper group and 25.5 s in FD-Y0007group (P < 0.0001). The frequency of adverse events (perforation: 3.4% vs 7.1%; delayed bleeding: 0% vs 0%) was not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the Coagrasper, the FD-Y0007 efficiently reduces the hemostatic time during gastric ESD with no increase in adverse events.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer (EGC) is a widely accepted and well established procedure because of its curative potential and low invasiveness compared with surgery. Perforation is a potential major complication during ESD, and non-surgical treatments such as endoscopic closure with clips are sufficient in most cases. Here, we report a case of perigastric abscess that occurred as a complication of ESD for EGC. The patient improved with administration of antibiotics without surgical intervention.

Abstract
Adverse events can occur during and after the endoscopic resection of upper gastrointestinal lesions. Their incidence can be minimized through the adoption of preventive measures and their final outcomes can be optimized through prompt identification and adequate treatment. In this evidence-based review we describe the risk factors for adverse events, preventive measures to avoid them and their management when they occur. Algorithms of action are also provided. Oesophageal strictures can be prevented with corticosteroids (either locally injected or systemically administered) and treated with endoscopic dilatation. Bleeding can be minimized through the adoption of prophylactic coagulation and novel preventive measures are emerging and being evaluated. Bleeding management includes coagulation therapy, clips and haemostatic powders. Perforations can nowadays be successfully treated endoscopically in the majority of the cases and conservative treatment is associated with favourable outcomes although optimal management is unclear.

Abstract
The local resection of the stomach is an ideal method for preventing postoperative symptoms. There are various procedures for performing local resection, such as the laparoscopic lesion lifting method, non-touch lesion lifting method, endoscopic full-thickness resection, and laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery. After the invention and widespread use of endoscopic submucosal dissection, local resection has become outdated as a curative surgical technique for gastric cancer. Nevertheless, local resection of the stomach in the treatment of gastric cancer in now expected to make a comeback with the clinical use of sentinel node navigation surgery. However, there are many issues associated with local resection for gastric cancer, other than the normal indications. These include gastric deformation, functional impairment, ensuring a safe surgical margin, the possibility of inducing peritoneal dissemination, and the associated increase in the risk of metachronous gastric cancer. In view of these issues, there is a tendency to regard local resection as an investigative treatment, to be applied only in carefully selected cases. The ideal model for local resection of the stomach for gastric cancer would be a combination of endoscopic full-thickness resection of the stomach using an ESD device and hand sutured closure using a laparoscope or a surgical robot, for achieving both oncological safety and preserved functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large colorectal superficial neoplastic lesions are challenging to remove. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of routine endoscopic resection of large (≥2 cm and <3 cm) and giant (≥3 cm) lesions. METHODS From 4587 endoscopic resections, 265 (5.7%) large and giant lesions were removed in 249 patients. We retrospectively analyzed 125 patients (141 endoscopic mucosal resection, 73 large and 68 giant lesions) with a follow-up of 6-12 months. Rate of en bloc and piecemeal resection, recurrence and risk factors were analyzed. RESULTS En bloc was performed in 92 cases (65.2%) and piecemeal resection in 49 (34.8%). A complete endoscopic resection was achieved in 139 cases (98.5%) with radical resection in 84/139 cases (60.4%). Argon plasma coagulation was applied in 18/141 lesions (12.8%). A recurrence occurred in 16/139 lesions (11.5%). The risk of recurrence at one year was significantly higher for giant than large lesions (p=0.03). The recurrence risk was higher in treated than in non-argon plasma coagulation treated lesions (p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS endoscopic mucosal resection is a safe and effective routine treatment for large superficial neoplastic lesions. The risk factors for recurrence include giant size, non-protruding morphology, piecemeal technique and argon plasma coagulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Perforation is one of the major complications of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). In the present study, we investigated the clinical outcomes of and management strategies for ESD-related perforations. METHODS Between February 2010 and April 2014, a total of 3821 patients who underwent ESD for an upper gastrointestinal epithelial neoplasm were analyzed using the Yonsei University Severance Hospital database. Clinical outcomes of and management strategies for perforations in 90 patients (2.4 %) were analyzed. The risk factors for the development of perforation were also investigated. RESULTS The mean age of our subjects was 64.7 ± 12.2 years (male to female ratio, 3.2:1), and the mean size of the resected specimens was 39.4 ± 12.5 mm. Endoscopically visible perforations (visible perforation group) were noted in 74 of the 90 patients (82.2 %), and clinically suspected perforations (suspected perforation group) were noted in 16 patients (17.8 %). Immediate closure with endoclips was attempted in cases with a visible perforation and was successful in 72 (97.3 %) cases. Two patients in whom endoscopic closure failed underwent surgery. Conservative care, including fasting and intravenous antibiotic administration, was attempted in the suspected perforation group, and all the patients were treated successfully without surgery. The mean durations of fasting, antibiotic treatment, and hospital stay were 3.8 ± 3.1, 6.8 ± 4.2, and 8.7 ± 5.3 days, respectively. Subgroup analysis of perforation type (visible perforation vs. suspected perforation) revealed no significant difference in the clinical course. Tumor location at the upper or middle third of the stomach was significantly associated with perforation. CONCLUSION Most of the ESD-related perforations in upper gastrointestinal epithelial neoplasm could be managed successfully in a non-surgical manner under strict monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Healing speed of peptic ulcer is affected by a number of factors, including Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and intragastric pH. Acid inhibition exerted by proton pump inhibitors differs by CYP2C19 genotype. Herein, we investigated whether healing speed of artificial ulcers formed after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was influenced by H. pylori infection, CYP2C19 genotype, or other factors. METHODS A total of 96 H. pylori-positive patients with gastric tumors scheduled for ESD were randomly assigned to receive eradication therapy for H. pylori before ESD (pre-ESD eradication) (n = 44) or after (post-ESD eradication) (n = 52). Patients received eradication therapy consisting of lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 750 mg, and clarithromycin 200 mg twice daily for 1 week. After ESD, lansoprazole 30 mg was given once daily for 8 weeks. Ulcer size was endoscopically measured on the next day and at 4 and 8 weeks after ESD. RESULTS Mean reduction rate of artificial ulcer area in the pre-ESD eradication group was 94.7% ± 5.5% at 4 weeks, which was similar to that in the post-ESD eradication group (94.7% ± 6.7%, P = 0.987), irrespective of CYP2C19 genotype. In multivariate analyses, location of gastric tumor (middle and upper, odds ratio: 4.05, 95% CI: 1.620-10.230, P = 0.003) was a factor for 97% reduction of artificial ulcer area at 4 weeks post-ESD, but CYP2C19 genotype and H. pylori infection were not. CONCLUSION Healing speed of ESD-induced artificial ulcer was affected by tumor location, but not by time of H. pylori eradication, resected size, or CYP2C19 genotype.

Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become one of the mainstays of treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC). Radical surgery is also a classical treatment method for EGC. There have been no systematic clinical studies of the curative effects and adverse events associated with ESD vs. radical surgery for EGC. This study investigated the therapeutic efficacy and safety of ESD and radical surgery for EGC. Methods Twenty-nine patients with EGC underwent ESD, and 59 underwent radical surgery at Weihai Municipal Hospital. The pathological characteristics, postoperative outcomes, hospital course, morbidity and mortality were retrospectively compared between the two groups. Results The oncological clearance was 93.1 % (27/29) in the ESD group. Postoperative delayed haemorrhage occurred in two patients. The hospital stay ranged from 10 to 23 days, and the average stay was 14.3 ± 3.7 days. The patients were followed-up for 1 to 5 years, with a mean follow-up of 26.9 ± 8.5 months. Regular endoscopic examinations showed that the wound had healed with no cancer recurrence in all of the patients. In the radical surgery group, the oncological clearance was 100 % (59/59). The hospital stay ranged from 11 to 55 days, and the average stay was 21.7 ± 9.3 days. The patients were followed-up for 1 to 3.7 years, with a mean follow-up of 22.3 ± 9.4 months. Nine patients developed complications, including acute postoperative adhesive ileus (1/59) and symptomatic residual gastritis (3/59). These complications were improved by an additional operation, drainage, gastrointestinal decompression and comprehensive therapy. Conclusions ESD achieved similar efficacy and had many advantages compared with radical surgery for the treatment of EGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical repair of endoscopic perforations of the GI tract used to be the standard, but immediate, secure endoscopic closure has become an attractive alternative treatment with the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE We aimed to perform a systematic review of the medical literature on endoscopic closure of acute iatrogenic perforations of the GI tract. DESIGN A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines. SETTING Available medical literature from 1966 through November 2013. PATIENTS Patients with an acute perforation after an endoscopic procedure that was closed endoscopically. INTERVENTIONS Endoscopic closure of an acute perforation of the GI tract. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Clinically successful endoscopic closure. RESULTS In our search, we identified 726 studies, 702 of which had to be excluded. Twenty-four cohort studies (21 retrospective, 3 prospective) were included in the analysis. No randomized trials were identified. Overall, the methodological quality was low. The 24 studies included described 466 acute perforations in which endoscopic closure was attempted. Successful endoscopic closure was achieved in 419 cases (89.9%; 95% CI, 87%-93%). Successful closure was achieved in 90.2% (n = 359; 95% CI, 87%-93%) of cases by using endoclips, in 87.8% (n = 58; 95% CI, 78%-95%) by using the over-the-scope-clip, and in 100% (n = 2) by using a metal stent. LIMITATIONS Low methodological quality of included studies. CONCLUSION This systematic review suggests that endoscopic perforation closure is a safe and effective alternative for surgical intervention in selected cases; however, the overall methodological quality was low. Prospective, true consecutive studies are needed to define the definitive role of endoscopic closure of perforations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a useful treatment method; however, no index has been established for time for patient to start food ingestion or be discharged after ESD. We investigated the potential of a clinical pathway in which patients started food ingestion on day 2 after ESD and were discharged on day 3. METHODS A total of 382 patients underwent colorectal ESD between 2006 and 2012. A flow chart of a clinical pathway was prepared based on the data obtained, with the aim of shortening hospital stay after ESD. RESULTS Mean duration of postoperative hospital stay in the 382 patients was 5.3 ± 1.8 days. The most common cause of extended hospital stay was abnormal blood test finding, as detected in 50 patients in group C (n = 131; 38.2%), followed by careful course observations, as noted in 48 patients in group C (n = 131; 36.6%). Regarding procedural accidents as a result of ESD, intraoperative perforation occurred in 15 patients (3.9%) and post-ESD bleeding in seven patients (1.8%), which extended the hospital stay. Food ingestion was started on day 2 when no abnormality was noted during ESD or in physical and imaging findings or blood tests on day 1. In the 86 patients who underwent the prepared clinical pathway as a validation study, 68 (79.0%) were discharged on day 3. Duration of postoperative hospital stay was 3.4 ± 1.2 days. CONCLUSION Discharge may be possible 3 days after ESD when no abnormalities are noted during ESD or on post-ESD day 1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Iatrogenic perforation of the gut during endoscopy remains an uncommon but critical complication with significant morbidity and probable mortality than usual surgical treatment. Some authors have adopted a non-surgical closure method in chosen cases and, since 1993, endoclips have been used to close perforation in the stomach. The endoscopic practice of endoclips has been commonly used in the gut for hemostasis. Currently, the use of endoscopic techniques is increasing for the closure of endoscopic submucosal dissection or endoscopic mucosal resection. Endoscopic perforations that improved with endoscopic closure in the literature prior to 2008 have been previously described. In the present article, we present a descriptive review of cases with iatrogenic perforation in the gut treated with endoclips between 2008 and 2014. METHODS Comprehensive literature screening and a systematic review using PubMed and Medline was done for all reports published between January 2008 and December 2014 using the endoclip technique in the closure of iatrogenic perforations. RESULTS A total of 47 studies published between 2008 and 2014 using endoclips for the closure of iatrogenic perforations of the gut (nine esophagus, 11 stomach, 15 duodenum, 12 colon and rectum) were found. All studies were explained briefly and summarized in a table. CONCLUSIONS There is strong evidence to show the efficacy of endoclips in the management of iatrogenic perforations, especially when recognized early. Limitations of endoclipping such as inefficiency against large perforations may be overcome by improving novel techniques in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of metallic clips assisted with foreign body forceps closing the gastric wall defect after endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR) for gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). METHODS Eighteen patients with gastric SMTs originated from the muscularis propria were treated by EFR between September 2012 and June 2014. Twelve patients underwent endoscopic closure of the gastric wall defects after EFR with endoloop and metallic clips (endoloop string suture method, ESSM), and six patients with clips and foreign body forceps (clips assisted with foreign body forceps clip method, CFCM). RESULTS No significant differences existed between the two groups in terms of demographics, clinical characteristics, and the size of the gastric wall defects. The average time spent in closing the gastric wall defects (14.83 ± 1.94 min for the CFCM group and 22.42 ± 5.73 min for the ESSM group) and hospitalization fees of the CFCM group were significantly lower than those of the ESSM group. The average hospitalization time of the two groups had no statistical significance. No single case had surgical intervention or complications, such as gastric bleeding, perforation, peritonitis, or abdominal abscess. CONCLUSION The CFCM and the ESSM are safe and effective techniques for gastric defect closure after EFR for gastric SMTs. Because of the "chopsticks effect," the CFCM more suitable for the lesions located at the gastric fundus, the greater curvature or anterior wall of the gastric body and gastric antrum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely accepted treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC), there is no consensus regarding the management of positive horizontal margin (HM) despite en bloc ESD. The aim of the current study was to identify the risk factors and optimal management of positive HM in EGCs resected by en bloc ESD. METHODS A total of 890 consecutive patients with 1,053 intramucosal EGCs resected by en bloc ESD between April 2005 and June 2011. Clinicopathological data were retrieved retrospectively to assess the positive HM rate, local recurrence rate, risk factors for positive HM, and outcomes of treatment for local recurrent tumor. Positive HM was defined as a margin with direct tumor invasion (type A), the presence of cancerous cells on either end of 2-mm-thick cut sections (type B), or an unclear tumor margin resulting from crush or burn damage (type C). RESULTS The positive HM rate was 2.0% (21/1,053). The local recurrence rate was 0.3% (3/1,053). All local recurrent tumors were intramucosal carcinomas, and were resected curatively by re-ESD. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression showed tumor location in the upper third of the stomach and lesions not matching the absolute indication to be independent risk factors for positive HM. CONCLUSION The risk factors for HM positivity in cases of EGC resected by en bloc ESD are tumor location in the upper third of the stomach and dissatisfaction of the absolute indication for curative ESD.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is a mini-invasive technique for gastric subepithelial tumors originating from the muscularis propria, which enables a full-thickness resection of tumors and can provide a complete basis for pathological diagnosis. Gastric fistula closure after EFTR is a challenge for endoscopists. In this study, we introduced EFTR with fistula closure using the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system for gastric subepithelial tumors originating from the muscularis propria. Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and safety of fistula closure with OTSC by a retrospective analysis on the cases of EFTR with defect closure using OTSC for gastric subepithelial tumors originating from the muscularis propria in our hospital. Methods The patients were selected who underwent EFTR for gastric subepithelial tumors originating from the muscularis propria (tumor diameter ≤2 cm) in our hospital from October 2013 to March 2014. After a full-thickness resection of tumors, the bilateral gastric mucous membranes of defect were clamped using twin graspers and then drawn into the transparent cap of OTSC, and the OTSC was released to close the defect after full suctioning. The success rate of defect closure with OTSC was observed, and the endoscopic follow-up was performed at 1 week, 1 and 6 months after operation to check OTSC closure. Results Totally 23 patients were included into the study. The full-thickness resection rate of gastric tumors in the muscularis propria was 100 % (23/23), the success rate of defect closure was 100 %, and the average time of defect closure was 4.9 min (range 2–12 min). All patients experienced no postoperative complications such as bleeding and perforation. The postoperative follow-up time was 1–6 months (mean 3 months), and no OTSC detachment was found. Conclusions OTSC can be used to perform EFTR with defect closure for gastric tumors in the muscularis propria (tumor diameter ≤2 cm). It is simple, convenient, safe and effective.

Abstract
Perforation of a gastric tube is a rare yet lethal complication after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer treatment. Currently, over-the-scope clip (OTSC) is an effective way to treat gastric tube perforation. Due to the lack of OTSCs, we invented an alternative method composed of a titanium clip and gastroscope. The aim of this study was to describe this novel endoscopic device in the treatment of gastric tube perforation. We used a titanium clip system to treat 4 male patients (range, 53 to 77 years with gastric tube perforation. After the location of the perforation was identified by gastroscope, a titanium endoscopic clip was used to close the perforation. Successful closure of the gastric tube perforation was achieved in three patients while in one patient this failed due to his refusal to undergo reoperation. No postoperative complication was found in the three patients whose perforations were closed and the patient who refused reoperation died due to the reoccurrence of his esophago-cardiac carcinoma. The endoscopic system composed of titanium clip and gastroscope proved to be an efficient and effective device in the treatment of the patients with gastric tube perforations.

Abstract
We report here a case of esophageal perforation made by an endoscope while treating cicatrical stenosis that developed after wide circumferential dissection of superficial esophageal carcinoma. Perforation closure with a conventional endoclip was difficult as the perforation was large and the surrounding tissue was fragile as a result of steroids administration for stenosis prevention. To avoid surgical intervention, we employed the over-the-scope-clip system and successfully closed the perforation. The favorable outcome suggests the utility of the over-the-scope-clip system for closing perforations when conventional methods are ineffective.

Abstract
Luminal perforation after endoscopy is a dreaded complication that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, longer and more costly hospitalization, and the specter of potential future litigation. The management of such perforations requires a multidisciplinary approach. Until recently, surgery was required. However, nowadays the endoscopist has a burgeoning armamentarium of devices and techniques that may obviate surgery. This article discusses the approach to endoscopic perforations in the esophagus and stomach.

Abstract
Early recognition of adverse events arising from endoscopy is essential. In some cases the injury can be viewed clearly during the procedure, and immediate action should be taken to repair the defect endoscopically if feasible. If perforation is unclear, imaging can be used to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical intervention is not always necessary; however, a surgical consultation for backup is essential. Selective cases can be managed conservatively or endoscopically with successful outcomes. Early recognition and intervention, input from specialist colleagues, and communication with the patient and family are keys to successfully managing the event.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In cases of synchronous gastric cancers (SGC) that include one for surgical indication and another for endoscopic resection (ER) in two different regions of the stomach, patients can avoid total gastrectomy and undergo subtotal gastrectomy following successful pre-emptive ER. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of pre-emptive endoscopic resection and surgery (PRES) with curative intent for such SGCs. METHODS Between September 2002 and December 2012, 34 patients with SGCs (72 lesions) underwent PRES. Our institutional principals of PRES ensure the following: (1) treatment with curative intent, (2) multiple lesions indicated for ER and surgery, (3) evasion of TG following successful pre-emptive ER, (4) exclusion of type 4 and large type 3 (>80 mm) tumors, and (5) nonemergent cases such as hemorrhage, perforation, and obstruction. Clinicopathological characteristics and technical data were evaluated for all patients, and long-term outcomes were analyzed in patients who obtained curative ER and underwent subtotal gastrectomy. RESULTS Curative ER was obtained in 31 patients (91.1 %), and subtotal gastrectomy was performed a median of 44 days after ER. Final stages were as follows: stage I, 25 patients (80.6 %); stage II, four patients (12.9 %); stage III, one patient (3.2 %); and stage IV, one patient (3.2 %). The 5-year overall and cause-specific survival rates were 96.3 % (95 % confidence interval 89.4-100 %) and 100 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS PRES was feasible and effective as the first treatment of choice for multiple SGCs. PRES enables minimally invasive surgery with promising oncological outcomes.

Abstract
Bleeding is a relatively rare complication occurring mainly after snare polypectomy. The majority of cases can be managed successfully by endoscopic means leaving very few cases which will ultimately need an operation. Colonic perforation, on the other hand is a serious complication that requires intensive and careful management. Prompt recognition of the perforation during the procedure allows, in selected cases, immediate endoscopic closure with an uneventful and full recovery followed by close monitoring and surgical management in case of clinical deterioration. The criteria for the right selection of perforation cases amenable to endoscopic treatment do still need to be confirmed by prospective studies and further experience is required before a standard algorithm on the endoscopic management of perforations is developed.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer is a well-established procedure with the advantage of resection in an en bloc fashion, regardless of the size, shape, coexisting ulcer, and location of the lesion. However, gastric ESD is a more difficult and meticulous technique, and also requires a longer procedure time, than conventional endoscopic mucosal resection. These factors naturally increase the risk of various complications. The two most common complications accompanying gastric ESD are bleeding and perforation. These complications are known to occur both intraoperatively and postoperatively. However, there are other rare but serious complications related to gastric ESD, including aspiration pneumonia, stenosis, venous thromboembolism, and air embolism. Endoscopists should have sufficient knowledge about such complications and be prepared to deal with them appropriately, as successful management of complications is necessary for the successful completion of the entire ESD procedure.

Abstract
Colonoscopic examination is considered an effective examination for the detection of colorectal cancers. Additionally, early colorectal cancers can be resected using endoscopic techniques such as endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection. However, those examinations and treatments need special techniques. Various training methods are practiced to acquire such endoscopic techniques throughout the world. In clinical cases, magnetic positioning devices help endoscopic insertion by less experienced endoscopists. There is a physical model made by polyvinyl chloride and a virtual simulator for training of colonoscopic insertion. Various techniques including a method to apply pressure to the abdomen and consideration for patient's pain can be trained using these models. In view of extensive training of endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection, animal models are useful and actually used. Live animal models of minipig, which entails blood flow, are ideal and used frequently, but are cumbersome to prepare. On the other hand, ex vivo animal models using intestine of porcine and bovine are convenient for preparation and less expensive. Unique ex vivo animal models with blood flow have been developed recently and techniques for hemostasis can be practiced. With respect to a method of training for colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection, a stepwise system has been adopted throughout the world. Thus, first they observe the expert's technique, then practice training of animal models, and finally, they perform clinical rectal cases. The system is useful for a safe and definite procedure. In this review, we reveal various training methods for colonoscopic examinations and treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fistulae between the tracheobronchial tree and the gastric conduit post-esophagectomy are a rare but sometimes fatal complication. Clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic to acute pulmonary decompensation. Traditional management options, such as esophageal exclusion alone or combined with transthoracic fistula division, and closure (with tissue interposition), are highly invasive, technically difficult, and associated with variable success rates. This video presents closure of highly complex, chronic esophagobronchial fistula (EBF) using simultaneous bronchoscopic and upper endoscopic techniques. METHODS Diagnostic bronchoscopy and upper endoscopy are performed to assess the size and location of fistulae. Fistulae with sufficient luminal size to accommodate a biologic plug were selected for treatment. Steps of EBF plug insertion. (1) Wire across fistula with ends exposed through the mouth. (2) Delivery sheath passed across wire from bronchial side to esophageal side (3) Plug loaded on the esophageal side of the sheath. (4) Plug pulled into position across the fistula from esophageal to bronchial side. (5) Delivery sheath released from bronchial side. RESULTS Two of four fistulae were suitable for plug therapy. A temporary covered-stent was placed to help maintain the plugs in place. Endoscopy at 1 month showed healing of the plugged fistula following stent removal. Respiratory symptoms were improved with no further episodes of pneumonia. Over course of 2 years, the patient has required three additional endoscopic procedures to control new fistulae from this broad area of exposed lung paranchyma, but the initial fistula plug repair is durable. CONCLUSION Post-esophagectomy fistula is a morbid complication and the surgical treatments available are highly morbid and have variable success rates. Due to the development of new endoscopic technologies, the endotherapy has assumed new prominence for treatment of enteric fistula. This complex case illustrates feasibility of endoscopic fistula treatment using dual scope, biologic plug application which effectively controlled this patient's EBF symptoms.

Abstract
Gastric cancer remains one of the most common causes of cancer death. However the proportion of early gastric cancer (EGC) at diagnosis is increasing. Endoscopic treatment for EGC is actively performed worldwide in cases meeting specific criteria. Endoscopic mucosal resection can treat EGC with comparable results to surgery for selected cases. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) increases the en bloc and complete resection rates and reduces the local recurrence rate. ESD has been performed with expanded indication and is expected to be more widely used in the treatment of EGC through the technological advances in the near future. This review will describe the techniques, indications and outcomes of endoscopic treatment for EGC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endoscopists have used clipping devices to successfully close acute, iatrogenic perforations throughout the gastrointestinal tract. We applied this technology to our bariatric patients, who tend to present with a more delayed anastomotic leak, to determine whether these leaks and fistulae would also heal with endoclip application. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a small series of 2 clinically stable bariatric patients who presented with postoperative anastomotic leaks who met criteria for non-operative therapy. The first underwent a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and presented postoperatively with a leak at her gastrojejunal anastomosis. The location was not amenable to stent placement; therefore, 2 endoclips were placed. The leak was sealed by fluoroscopic examination 14 d later. The second had a reversal of a previous gastric bypass, creating a new gastrogastric anastomosis. A leak was found at this new connection postoperatively. After failure of a stent to seal the leak, 8 endoclips were used. This patient also had successful closure of her leak on fluoroscopy 14 d postprocedure. DISCUSSION Anastomotic leaks after bariatric surgery can incur severe morbidity, cost, and detriment to patients' quality of life. Unstable patients require operative intervention. Stable patients are candidates for more-conservative measures. Endoscopic stents have been successful in closing gastric leaks, though some are not anatomically amenable to stent placement, and stents also have the potential to migrate distally. We demonstrate 2 cases of successful closure of leaks in bariatric patients by using endoclips and suggest that this be considered an option in appropriate cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Detection of early gastric cancer (EGC) in the remnant stomach is increasing because of follow-up endoscopic surveillance programs. Endoscopic treatment appears to be desirable for EGC in the remnant stomach because it is less invasive than surgical resection. METHODS In this retrospective study, to evaluate the feasibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for EGC in an anastomotic site, treatment results of ESD for EGC in an anastomotic site and in remnant stomach not involving an anastomotic site were compared. In total, 11 EGC lesions of anastomotic sites in 11 patients and 22 EGC lesions of remnant stomach not involving an anastomotic site in 21 patients were treated by ESD. RESULTS All lesions were successfully treated by en bloc resection. There were three patients with perforations in the anastomotic site group. Although resected specimen size and tumor size were larger in the anastomotic site group than in the non-anastomotic site group (P < 0.01), the procedure duration was far longer in the anastomotic site group than in the non-anastomotic site group (P < 0.01). The speed of the procedure was faster in the non-anastomotic site group than in the anastomotic site group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Although ESD for EGC in an anastomotic site is a time-consuming procedure and requires advanced techniques compared with ESD for EGC not involving an anastomotic site, a high en bloc resection rate was achieved. ESD by endoscopists with sufficient experience appears to be a feasible treatment for EGC in an anastomotic site.
