Very inspiring and must read . Thanks Samir C. Grover, MD for opening your heart and sharing this !

What a treat to my 👀 😉😋 FREEndoscopy Amol Bapaye Jay Pasricha Jay Bapaye, MD Zaheer Nabi Samanta Jayanta Mohan Ramchandani performing D-POEM 😎 Mohamed Othman performing POEM-F👌 #Norria Fukami performing Rectal ESD (Speed boat)🤩

Congrats Amol Bapaye for the great success of Pune 10th International Conference on Third Space Endoscopy. Great line up Of faculty and 18 cases of complex third space endoscopy. I was fortunate to perform the POEM portion of POEM-F cases. Amol Bapaye elegantly highlighted

I am very proud to share that U.S. News & World Report ranked BCM Gastroenterology #41 in #Gastroenterology & #GISurgery! This award is a result of the team's dedication to compassionate care and their patients; congratulations!  #GITwitter BCMHouston

Mohamed Othman congrats for your excellent presentation

Pocket or tunneling techniques are commonly used in colonic ESD given limited submucosal space. Traction is an alternative technique which requires circumferential incision first ( the traditional way). Occasionally, gravity can provide the traction needed to perform colonic ESD

In the last eight years, I was honored to help many endoscopists to start their ESD practice. One of the observations I noted is that endoscopists gain sufficient ESD skills and perform around 20 to 30 cases before they start scheudling the procedure intermittently and

Good point raised by Don Portocarrero about the recent learning curve study. Is the take home point to encourage or discourage performing ESD with lower number of cases in private practice?

Congratulations to my friend Carlos Robles-Medranda, MD, FASGE, AGAF and IECED team on the great success of 8th Online Live Endoscopy Course of IECED & PTCE 2024. 24 live cases of complex pancreaticobiliary interventions and third space endoscopy procedures were performed in two days. I was fortunate to

Hybrid ESD is an exciting technique for endoscopists embarking on performing colonic ESD since it reduce procedure time. In this collaborative multi-center randomized trial from North America, our group of investigators found that hybrid ESD was faster compared to conventional

During my GI fellowship (2007 to 2010), The concept of NOTES surgery was introduced with lots of enthusiasm. With exception to POEM procedure, enthusiasm to other NOTES application quickly faded. This was mainly due to the lack of robust closure devices and inability to

♦The main intent of ESD is not only to achieve en bloc resection but to obtain acceptable R0 resection too ( resection without any residuals on microscopy). ♦Any residual pathology ( R1 resection) can lead to recurrence. ♦However, cautery artifact at the margin of the
