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: Early and accurate radiographic diagnosis is required for the management of children with radio-opaque esophageal foreign bodies. Button batteries are some of the most dangerous esophageal foreign bodies and coins are among the most commo...
One essential step in radiotherapy treatment planning is the organ at risk of segmentation in Computed Tomography (CT). Many recent studies have focused on several organs such as the lung, heart, esophagus, trachea, liver, aorta, kidney, and prostate...
Deep learning methods have been shown to achieve excellent performance on diagnostic tasks, but how to optimally combine them with expert knowledge and existing clinical decision pathways is still an open challenge. This question is particularly impo...
Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) allows for real-time diagnosis of dysplasia and cancer in Barrett's esophagus (BE) but is limited by low sensitivity. Even the gold standard of histopathology is hindered by poor agreement between path...
Thoracolaparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE) for carcinoma esophagus has better short-term outcomes compared to open esophagectomy. The precise role of robot-assisted laparoscopic esophagectomy (RALE) is still evolving. Single center retrospective analysi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: One of the main steps in the planning of radiotherapy (RT) is the segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) in Computed Tomography (CT). The esophagus is one of the most difficult OARs to segment. The boundaries between the esop...
In the gastroenterology field, the impact of artificial intelligence was investigated for the purposes of diagnostics, risk stratification of patients, improvement in quality of endoscopic procedures and early detection of neoplastic diseases, implem...
