Submucosal tunneling endoscopic technique can be useful in obtaining esophageal muscle specimens in patients with esophageal motility disorders. Here, we describe the case of a patient with systemic sclerosis. Histological verification of the esophageal involvement in the pathological process was required for the treatment. There were no intra- and post- operational complications.

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.

Advancements in Endoscopic Treatment for Gastric Subepithelial Tumors.

Gut Liver

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology, Graduate School of Medicine, Nippon Medical School, Tokyo, Japan.

Peroral flexible endoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that enables the local resection of gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs) with malignant potential. Resection techniques are mainly chosen on the basis of the lesion size. Minute SETs less than 1 cm should be managed through a watch and wait strategy, with the exception of histologically diagnosed superficial lesions, which require endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection.

Robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation in adults after failed primary surgery: technique and outcomes from two centers.

Minerva Urol Nephrol

December 2024

Department of Urology, Institute of Urology, National Urological Cancer Center, Peking University First Hospital, Peking University, Beijing, China -

Background: The aim of this study was to report our technical experience and mid-term outcomes of robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation in adults following failed primary ureteral reimplantation.

Methods: Twelve patients underwent robot-assisted redo ureteral reimplantation from December 2020 to May 2022 at double centers. Surgical procedures included anti-reflux dismembered submucosal tunnel reimplantation, anti-reflux dismembered nipple reimplantation, and anti-reflux non-dismembered submucosal tunnel reimplantation.

Endoscopic Submucosal Tunneling Techniques versus Flexible Endoscopic Septotomy for Zenker's Diverticulum: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Gastrointest Endosc

November 2024

Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Endoscopy Unit, Alfa Institute of Gastroenterology, Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Hospital Mater Dei Contorno, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Background And Aims: Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is the most common type of esophageal diverticulum. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis aiming to compare the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic submucosal tunneling techniques (ESTT) and flexible endoscopic septotomy (FES) for treating patients with ZD, including subgroup analyses by follow-up duration (<12 months and ≥12 months), diverticulum size (<2.5cm and ≥2.
