Article Synopsis
- - ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a crucial procedure for diagnosing and treating biliopancreatic disorders, utilizing a mix of endoscopy and radiology to address issues like bile duct stones and leaks.
- - The procedure often requires anesthesia due to its discomfort, with options ranging from moderate sedation to general anesthesia, making the choice of anesthetic methods significant.
- - A narrative review was conducted to evaluate current anesthetic medications used during elective ERCP, particularly focusing on new drugs like dexmedetomidine, amidst ongoing debates about sedation levels and airway management practices.
Introduction: Although gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) has shown substantial efficacy in patients with medically refractory gastroparesis (GP), comprehensive long-term data on its effectiveness are lacking.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis including observational studies assessing long-term efficacy after G-POEM in patients with refractory GP. Our primary outcome was the pooled rate of clinical success 1-year after G-POEM.
Background And Aims: One-fourth of colorectal neoplasia is missed at screening colonoscopy, representing the leading cause of interval colorectal cancer (I-CRC). This systematic review and meta-analysis summarizes the efficacy of computer-aided colonoscopy (CAC) compared to white-light colonoscopy (WLC) in reducing lesion miss rates.
Methods: Major databases were systematically searched through May 2024 for tandem-design RCTs comparing lesion miss rates in CAC-first followed by WLC vs WLC-first followed by CAC.
Endoscopic removal of gastrointestinal lesions by using third space endoscopy techniques.

Article Synopsis
- The "third space" is a submucosal area in the gastrointestinal tract that allows endoscopists to perform procedures without fully penetrating the tissue.
- Endoscopic tunneling techniques, such as ESTD and STER, are used to remove various types of tumors, including mucosal and subepithelial tumors, as well as extraluminal lesions.
- This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the evidence surrounding these tunneling techniques, focusing on their indications and outcomes for treating different lesions.
