Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) in the lower gastrointestinal tract

Techniques in Coloproctology

Abstract

Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) significantly expands the spectrum of endoscopic colorectal resection methods for lesions that show no lifting sign, submucosal lesions and mucosal carcinomas. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EFTR using a commercially available full thickness resection device (FTRD) by assessing the completeness of the full-thickness resection, the technical success, as well as complications in a cohort of patients from three referral centers in Germany. Another aim was to determine which patient subpopulations benefit most in clinical practice. This retrospective multicenter study was conducted on consecutive patients who were admitted to three referral centers in Germany between November 2014 and December 2017. The EFTR was conducted according to the standard indications using the FTRD System (OVESCO, Tübingen, Germany). Data were obtained from prospectively maintained institutional databases. There were 70 patients, 42 males and 25 females with a mean age of 79.5 years (range 25-89 years) who had colonoscopy for EFTR. In three patients EFTR was not feasible because the lesions were too large. Of the remaining 67 patients, 52 had recurrent adenomas, 10 had high-grade i...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
