Article Synopsis
- Endoscopy is crucial for managing ulcerative colitis (UC) by allowing visualization and assessment of disease severity, leading to the creation of standardized scoring systems like MES, UCEIS, and UCCIS.
- In this study, videos from colonoscopies of 67 UC patients were reviewed by three specialists to evaluate the consistency of their assessments using the different scoring systems.
- Results indicated adequate correlation between endoscopists, especially for UCEIS and UCCIS scores, but highlighted the need for further training to reduce subjectivity in assessing endoscopic lesions.
Introduction: endoscopy plays an essential role in the management of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), as it allows us to visualize and assess the severity of the disease. Different scores have been devised to standardize the findings because such assessments are not always objective.
Aims: the aim of this study was to assess the interobserver variability between the Index of Mayo Endoscopy (IME) and the Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopy Index of Severity (UCEIS), analyzing the severity of the endoscopic lesions in patients with UC.
Purpose: Stenting as a bridge to surgery (SBTS) can transform an emergency surgery (ES) into an elective surgery in patients with symptomatic left-sided malignant colonic obstruction. Concerns have been raised regarding short-term morbidity and long-term oncologic outcomes, with contrasting results reported in the literature. Our main aim is to evaluate not only long-term oncologic outcomes but also short-term postoperative outcomes of stented patients who underwent elective surgery compared to those who had ES.

Clin Exp Gastroenterol
September 2013
Background And Study Aims: Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) was developed for the evaluation of colorectal pathology. In this study, our aim was to assess if a dual-camera analysis using CCE allows better evaluation of the whole gastrointestinal (GI) tract compared to a single-camera analysis.
Patients And Methods: We included 21 patients (12 males, mean age 56.
