Virtual‐reality endoscopic navigation system in mediastinal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (with video)

Digestive Endoscopy, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 541-547, May 2025.
The approaches to mediastinal surgery are open thoracic, thoracoscopic, and mediastinoscopy. However, using natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) would be minimally invasive if the mediastinum is reached via the esophagus. One disadvantage of NOTES was no information outside the wall.

Wound healing of laparoscopic Heller's myotomy with and without an added dor's fundoplication, in pigs [PDF]

, 2004
BACKGROUND: It has been argued that a Dor's fundoplication following myotomy is useful to prevent leakage due to overlooked iatrogenic perforations of esophagus and it is able to stop sphincter reconstruction, avoiding recurrent achalasia. Another strain

Peroral endoscopic myotomy in spastic esophageal disorders: Clinical outcomes and optimal approaches

Digestive Endoscopy, EarlyView.
Objectives The efficacy and safety of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for spastic esophageal disorders (SED), including type III achalasia, distal esophageal spasm (DES), and jackhammer esophagus (JE), remain uncertain due to its rarity. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and optimal strategies for managing SED.

Quality Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand: A Joint Position Statement

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quality standards for upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy are required to identify key quality indicators that are relevant to Australasian endoscopic practice and local patient populations. Such standards will promote equitable access to high‐quality UGI endoscopy for appropriate indications across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

Enteric neuropathy and the vagus nerve: Therapeutic implications

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Abstract Enteric neuropathies are characterized by abnormalities of gut innervation, which includes the enteric nervous system, inducing severe gut dysmotility among other dysfunctions. Most of the gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the vagus nerve, the efferent branches of which have close interconnections with the enteric nervous system and ...

The Milan Score Predicts Objective Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Patients With Type 2 Esophagogastric Junction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
The novel manometric parameter Milan Score could be useful in predicting which patients with type 2 EGJ have a high likelihood of objective GERD, therefore discriminating which patients may need escalation of GERD investigation and management. ABSTRACT Introduction High‐resolution manometry (HRM) allows assessment of esophagogastric junction (EGJ ...
