Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic therapy has significantly advanced, particularly in using suturing techniques within the gastrointestinal tract.
- Current methods mainly rely on closure with instruments or continuous sutures via an endoscopic needle holder, highlighting a lack of effective nodal suturing options involving extracorporeal ligation.
- This paper presents a new endoscopic ligation technique that employs a flexible endoscope for performing nodal suturing through extracorporeal ligation.
Article Synopsis
- * The GIST measured 12×12 mm and exhibited an intra-luminal growth pattern, prompting the need for surgical intervention.
- * A new technique of full-thickness resection through a submucosal tunnel was used, resulting in a successful R0 resection, indicating no remaining cancerous cells.

Aim: Adhesive small bowel obstructions (SBO) are one of the most common complications following abdominal surgery, and they decrease patient quality of life. Since 2000, laparoscopic surgery has been employed with increasing frequency, as has adhesion prevention material (APM). In this study we tried to evaluate whether laparoscopic surgery and APM reduce the incidence of SBO.

- Third-space endoscopic techniques like POET and STER allow surgeons to reach deep tissues that were previously hard to access with traditional endoscopes.
- A case of a 29-year-old man with a 40 × 25 mm leiomyoma in his upper thoracic esophagus demonstrated the effectiveness of POET, which involved full-thickness resection while ensuring safety around surrounding structures like the azygos vein.
- Successful use of POET highlights its potential as a groundbreaking technique for removing non-epithelial lesions, emphasizing the need for detailed imaging and careful dissection during procedures.
Initiating chemotherapy usually requires a delay of more than 4 weeks after surgically resecting colorectal cancer. However, there is little evidence regarding the required delay interval. We have previously reported a pilot study to determine the safety and feasibility of early initiation of chemotherapy after resecting primary colorectal cancer with distant metastases.

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing distal gastrectomy between January 2012 and December 2013. Using the data for 70 346 patients registered in the NCD, incidences of mortality and morbidities were compared between LDG patients and ODG patients in the propensity score matched stage I patients (ODG: n = 14 386, LDG: n = 14 386) and stage II-IV patients (ODG: n = 3738, LDG: n = 3738), respectively.
