Since its inception, endoscopy has evolved from a solely diagnostic procedure to an expanding therapeutic field within gastroenterology. The incorporation of robotics in gastroenterology initially addressed shortcomings of flexible endoscopes in natu...
BACKGROUND: Using conventional endoscope to perform endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is difficult because of the one-handed operation and blind dissection caused by gravity. Poor visualization of the submucosal plane causes ESD to be associated...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Effective countertraction is a main challenging issue in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Several countertraction methods have been developed to address this issue. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ESD ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy-based pathological findings are needed to diagnose early gastric cancer. However, the information of biopsy specimen is limited because of the topical procedure; therefore, pathology doctors s...
BACKGROUND: Appropriate tissue tension and clear visibility of the dissection area using traction are essential for effective and safe endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We developed a robotic assistive traction device for flexible endoscopy and...

OBJECTIVES: In Japan, endoscopic resection (ER) is often used to treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) when invasion depths are diagnosed as EP-SM1, whereas ESCC cases deeper than SM2 are treated by surgical operation or chemoradiotherapy. ...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: According to guidelines, endoscopic resection should only be performed for patients whose early gastric cancer invasion depth is within the mucosa or submucosa of the stomach regardless of lymph node involvement. The accurate pre...
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables en-bloc resection of large lesions more than 20 mm in size. Therefore, the use of ESD has gained broader acceptance for clinical applications globally. Previous reports on long-term outcomes after ESD, w...
Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) constitutes a firmly well-established technique within endoscopic resection for the elimination of epithelial lesions. Dissection trajectory prediction in ESD videos has the potential to strengthen surgical skil...
