Using a systematic literature search of original articles published during 2024 in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (GIE) and other high-impact medical and gastroenterology journals, the GIE Editorial Board of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy compiled a list of the top 10 most significant topic areas in general and advanced GI endoscopy during the year. Each GIE Editorial Board member

Partial resection of colon polyps induces submucosal fibrosis, making subsequent resection attempts more difficult. Some consider that partially resected lesions require specialized techniques such as endoscopic submucosal dissection, full-thickness resection, or surgery. We investigated whether traditional endoscopic resection methods were safe and effective.

There is limited evidence regarding the use of endoscopic resection for the treatment of gastric tube cancer. We investigated the short- and long-term outcomes of endoscopic resection in patients with gastric tube cancer and compared them with those with naïve stomach cancer.

Although EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy sampling (EUS-FNB) of solid pancreatic lesions with or without the use of rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) provides a high diagnostic yield, the utility of ROSE for commercial genomic analysis is unclear.

ERCP is the primary therapeutic procedure for pancreaticobiliary diseases. Post-ERCP pancreatitis can occur in up to 10% to 15% of cases; however, very little data describe the incidence and financial burden of post-ERCP pancreatitis in a nationally representative sample in the United States. In this study, we characterized the 30-day incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis, identified patient- and procedure-related

EUS-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is crucial for diagnosing pancreatic diseases. Recently, 2 novel types of sharpened-tip, 3-prong fine-needle biopsy (FNB) needles, the Trident needle (Micro-Tech Endoscopy, High Wycombe, UK) and the 3-point needle (TopGain; MediGlobe, London, UK), were developed to improve puncture performance. In this study, these novel needles were compared with the conventional

EUS-directed transgastric intervention (EDGI) involves the creation of a temporary tract between the gastric pouch or proximal jejunum and excluded stomach by deploying a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) between the adjacent lumens. Once the intended intervention is completed, the LAMS is removed. Practices for closure of the resulting gastrogastric or jejunal-gastric fistula vary widely. The purpose

Timely evaluation and removal of prophylactic pancreatic stents (PSs) placed during ERCP are recommended. The aim of the study was to examine the proportion of patients whose prophylactic PSs passed or were removed within 4 weeks of ERCP.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving in the field of GI endoscopy. This systematic review aims to summarize the current perspectives of endoscopists on AI in endoscopy and to identify its challenges.

Data comparing the efficacy and safety of OverStitch (Apollo Endosurgery, Marlborough, MA), X-Tack (Apollo Endosurgery), and endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) for closure of GI defects after endoscopic resection are limited. We conducted a meta-analysis of the available data.

This document is an update to the 2014 recommendations for optimizing the adequacy of bowel cleansing for colonoscopy from the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer, which represents the American College of Gastroenterology, the American Gastroenterological Association, and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. The US Multi-Society Task Force developed consensus statements

Intestinal strictures are a common and serious adverse event of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) is the first step in treatment to avoid surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical sequelae of difficult EBD.
