Endoscopic mucosal resection with full-thickness closure for difficult polyps: a prospective clinical trial

Combined Endoscopic-Laparoscopic Resection of Colon Polyps

“…All de novo polyps were benign and could be removed successfully with snare polypectomy. Three other studies had no recurrence at mean follow-up of 65 months [14], 11 months [16], and 3 months [13], respectively.…”

Endoscopic fixation of the rectum for rectal prolapse: a feasibility and survival experimental study

“…The endoluminal therapeutic procedures that have been widely reported thus far include colonoscopic stenting for obstructive lesions, polypectomy including full-thickness excisions, and creation of an anastomosis [9,33].…”

“…With the safety, feasibility, and at least equal long-term results compared to open surgery, the application of laparoscopic surgery for certain diseases like colorectal cancer has been well accepted [1][2][3][4][5]. Surgical innovation has not stopped at this frontier and has proceeded further along the more minimal access routes like single-port surgery, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), and endoluminal surgery [6,7].A common application of endoluminal intervention (beyond mucosal polyp excision) has been to tackle bowel obstruction, either as a bridge to surgery or as a solution in a more advanced disease status [8][9][10][11]. The endoluminal surgical approach to disease therapies offers a less invasive method compared to currently available surgical…”

“…A common application of endoluminal intervention (beyond mucosal polyp excision) has been to tackle bowel obstruction, either as a bridge to surgery or as a solution in a more advanced disease status [8][9][10][11]. The endoluminal surgical approach to disease therapies offers a less invasive method compared to currently available surgical procedures using the laparoscopic approach, single-port surgery, and NOTES.…”

Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resection of Submucosal Gastric Tumors

“…Endoscopic resection techniques are increasingly being used to treat early and limited gastrointestinal tumors, such as mucosal cancers [1][2][3][4][5]. With submucosal tumors (SMTs), the same resection techniques have been applied, but complete resection remains challenging [4,6,7].…”
