Background: Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) is considered an effective, safe and minimally invasive treatment for esophageal subepithelial lesions (SELs) with maximal dilameter less than 3.0 cm, yet its efficacy for lesions over 3.0 cm remains unclear.

Background/aims: Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (ERFA) is a treatment option for superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN), with a relatively low risk of stenosis; however, the long-term outcomes remain unclear. We aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of patients with widespread superficial ESCN who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or ERFA.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with superficial ESCN who underwent ESD or ERFA between January 2015 and December 2021.

Background: Esophageal stricture ranks among the most significant complications following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Excessive fibrotic repair is a typical pathological feature leading to stenosis after ESD.

Aim: To examine the effectiveness and underlying mechanism of Kangfuxin solution (KFX) in mitigating excessive fibrotic repair of the esophagus post-ESD.

Background: This study investigates the role of functional constipation (FC) in predicting the long-term success of Gastric Per-oral Endoscopic Myotomy (G-POEM) for treating gastroparesis.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. Patients who underwent G-POEM between July 2015 and August 2022 with > 6-month follow-up were included.

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a novel technique within the field of third space endoscopy. The overarching principal is creation of a mucosal incision, careful dissection of the submucosal space using an electrosurgical knife to reach the muscularis (ie, tunneling), performing a controlled myotomy, and finally, closure of the mucosal incision. POEM was first developed for the management of achalasia, and now a decade of evidence shows the procedure is safe, effective, and highly reproducible.
