Happening now at “Top Tips for TIFs” by Dr. Kal Patel:
🌟 Patient selection is the 🔑 Regurgitation > heartburn > atypical
🌟 TIF vs cTIF based on size of hiatal hernia.
🌟 Pick the right scope size
🌟 CO2 insufflation

Pro Tips for Olympus PolyLoop

1️⃣ Close sheath/hook & advance collar at SAME TIME

2️⃣ Ensure there is metal exposed before deploying loop to avoid mis-deploying (eg, stuck around polyp 😬)

Ever use Olympus GI PolyLoop & get frustrated when it fails?

Need a better device!

Circumferential early gastric cancer of the cardia. This has been the most difficult ESD for me (pT1a). Which one has been your most challenging case?

any tricks to get this migrated PD stent out? 4cm x 5 single pigtail stent . There is a 5F 11mm extraction balloon alongside it to give an idea bout the trajectory of PD. Couldn’t pull it out with an extraction balloon. Forceps wouldn’t make the turn.

Forde MD, MS, ABOM-D Sultan Mahmood MD These are all about angle and patience!! Would try with a ‘time first and gently take off the left/right lock. We still have a JF scope which can help with more manoeuvring.

Sometimes get into Pd and then use this to manipulate ampulla to a good spot.

There’s no one way…

Erik Holzwanger, MD, ABOM-D Good reminder by Sri Komanduri that resection serves both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. If patient is on a sub therapeutic acid suppressive regimen, will place them on BID dosing and schedule EGD a few weeks out, with the goal that any erosive disease will heal prior to exam

Erik Holzwanger, MD, ABOM-D The exception here is uncontrolled reflux and esophagitis. We see now doing a study to assess feasibility of single use TNE for EET referrals to 'get a look' prior to that first session of EET which could be an alternative solution

Erik Holzwanger, MD, ABOM-D I would keep in mind EMR is diagnostic as well. Having the patient do another Egd for biopsies is usually redundant and makes an already long process more frustrating. When you do the scope it only makes sense to resect visible lesions and biopsy or brush residual flat disease

It's the little things 😊

I never take for granted the honor and privilege I have to be a part of all my patients' lives. There is more to medicine than just diagnosing and performing procedures.
