Zenker per-oral endoscopic myotomy (ZPOEM) has become a promising technique for Zenker's diverticulum (ZD). The aim of this study was to add to the limited body of literature evaluating the safety and efficacy of ZPOEM. A prospectively maintained database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent ZPOEM at two separate institut...

Squamous dysplasia is the histological precursor of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The optimal management for distinct squamous dysplasia grades remains unclear because the corresponding risk of developing ESCC is unknown. We aimed to assess the ESCC risk in patients with esophageal squamous dysplasia in a Western country. This nationwi...

Early detection of esophageal cancer is limited by accurate endoscopic diagnosis of subtle macroscopic lesions. Endoscopic interpretation is subject to expertise, diagnostic skill, and thus human error. Artificial intelligence (AI) in endoscopy is increasingly bridging this gap. This systematic review and meta-analysis consolidate the evidence on t...

The optimal management of cancer of the gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) is an area of contention. GEJ tumors are typically resected via total gastrectomy or esophagectomy. Despite many studies aiming to determine the superiority of either procedure based on surgical or oncological outcomes, the evidence is equivocal. Data focusing specifically on ...

The impact of race/ethnicity (RE) or socioeconomic status (SES) on progression from Barrett's esophagus (BE) to esophageal cancer (EC) is not well established. We aimed to evaluate the association between demographic factors and SES on EC diagnosis in an ethnically diverse BE cohort. Patients aged 18-63 with incident BE diagnosed in October 2015-Ma...

Previous studies recommend a watch-and-wait approach to paraesophageal hernia (PEH) repair due to an increased risk for mortality. While contemporary studies suggest that elective surgery is safe and effective, many patients presenting with PEH are elderly. Therefore, we assessed the impact of frailty on in-hospital outcomes and healthcare utilizat...

Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) is an alternative surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease; however, >1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is contraindicated for patients who have undergone MSA with the LINX Reflux Management System (Torax Medical, Inc. Shoreview, Minnesota, USA). This drawback can impose a barrier to access o...

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-tunnel dissection using hemostatic forceps and needle-type device for patients with esophageal circumferential lesions (ECLs). Patients with ECLs were enrolled in the study and underwent endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) or hemostatic forceps-based ESTD (ESFTD). All patients were divided int...
