Introduction: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the colon and rectum has been developed with good reported outcomes. The main advantage of ESD is the ability to perform en bloc resection, which has implications for complete excision and pathological analysis. Locally, the use of ESD in colonic lesions has seen recent traction. Our study aimed to review the outcomes of the first 50 cases of endoscopic excision of advanced colonic lesions using ESD at our institution.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of all patients who underwent ESD at our institution from September 2010 to October 2016. Data collected included patient demographics, resection technique, conversion rate and morbidity.
Results: 51 patients underwent ESD during the study period. All patients were of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class 1-3. Their median age was 60.0 years and the majority (n = 36) were male. The mean procedure time was 80.9 minutes. 36 (76.6%) of cases underwent en bloc resection. 4 (7.8%) cases required conversion to surgery, mainly due to difficulty in raising the colonic lesions. 3 (5.9%) patients had malignancy as the final histology. 2 (4.3%) patients had recurrence during surveillance scope. No cases of early mortality were reported.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that ESD for advanced colonic lesions can be safely performed. Expertise needs to be developed to achieve satisfactory en bloc resection rates.

Acute ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colon that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Yet, a growing body of evidence supports the efficacy of dietary interventions in preventing acute ulcerative colitis. Fermented beverages have been the focus of research in humans and animals for several years due to their potential to influence overall health functions with an emphasis on gut health.

Background: Thermal damage may lead to inflammation of the peeled mucosal surface during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
Aim: To determine the effect of Joule heat on the onset of post-ESD electrocoagulation syndrome (PECS).
Methods: In this prospective study, PECS was characterized by in-hospital fever (white blood cell count: ≥ 10000 μ/L or body temperature ≥ 37.

Introduction: In Crohn's disease (CD), lesions are mainly distributed in a segmental manner, with the primary sites of involvement being the ileum and colon. Heterogeneity in colon and ileum results in location-specific clinical presentations and therapeutic responses. Mucosal healing tends to be more readily and quickly achieved in the colon than in the ileum, where lesions are more likely to develop into complex behaviors.

Background: Bone metastases are complications of many cancers, including colon cancer. Whole body bone scan is commonly used to detect bone metastases in these patients. Bone scan findings are sensitive for detecting metastases but with less experience and especially without the use of single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) images, they are less specific.
