Underwater Endoscopic Mucosal Resection without Submucosal Injection Facilitates En bloc Resection of Colon Adenomas Extending into a Diverticulum [PDF]
Clinical Endoscopy, 2021 Superficial colonic neoplasms sometimes extend into a diverticulum. Conventional endoscopic mucosal resection of these lesions is considered challenging because colonic diverticula do not have a muscularis propria and are deeply inverted.

The Epidemiology and Etiology of Right-Sided Colonic Diverticulosis: A Review [PDF]
Annals of Coloproctology, 2021 Diverticulosis of the colon is a common condition in Western countries and most patients will remain asymptomatic, but some will present with symptoms of acute diverticulitis or bleeding.

Giant Colonic Diverticulum of the Sigmoid with an Unusual Localization
Case Reports in Acute Medicine, 2022 Diverticular disease is a common disorder of the colon. A rare complication of diverticulosis is a giant colonic diverticulum (GCD) defined as a diverticulum measuring >4 cm. It most often affects the sigmoid colon. We report a case of a 68-year-old

Giant Colonic Diverticulum [PDF]
Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2008 We report a case of a giant colonic diverticulum (GCD), an infrequent complication of diverticular disease. More frequent complications include phlegmonous diverticulitis (31%), abscess formation (31%), and free perforation (38%) (1).

Microbiota of the Colonic Diverticula in the Complicated Form of Diverticulitis: A Case Report
Life, 2022 Intestinal microbiota appears to be implicated in the pathogenesis of diverticular disease. We present the case of a patient with diverticular colon disease complicated by a pelvic abscess.

Giant Colonic Diverticulum [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 2005 the imaging procedure of choice for diagnosis and followup. Gallium scanning and ACE measurement in serum and cerebrospinal fluid may be helpful but lack sensitivity and specificity. The same is true of increased protein and mild pleocytosis (usually lymphocytosis) in the cerebrospinal fluid. Definitive diagnosis of sarcoidosis requires biopsy evidence

Tracking accuracy evaluation of electromagnetic sensor-based colonoscope tracking method [PDF]
Computer-Assisted and Robotic Endoscopy, LNCS 9515, pp.101-108,
2015, 2022 This paper reports a detailed evaluation results of a colonoscope tracking method. A colonoscope tracking method utilizing electromagnetic sensors and a CT volume has been proposed. Tracking accuracy of this method was evaluated by using a colon phantom.

Colon Shape Estimation Method for Colonoscope Tracking using Recurrent Neural Networks [PDF]
Published in Proceedings of MICCAI 2018, LNCS 11073, pp 176-184, 2020 We propose an estimation method using a recurrent neural network (RNN) of the colon's shape where deformation was occurred by a colonoscope insertion. Colonoscope tracking or a navigation system that navigates physician to polyp positions is needed to reduce such complications as colon perforation. Previous tracking methods caused large tracking errors

Duodenal Carcinoma from a Duodenal Diverticulum Mimicking Pancreatic Carcinoma [PDF]
, 2012 An 81-year-old man was found to have a pancreatic head tumor on abdominal computed tomography (CT) performed during a follow-up visit for sigmoid colon cancer. The tumor had a diameter of 35mm on the CT scan and was diagnosed as pancreatic head carcinoma

Rare case of acute abdomen: Right colon perforation due to the colon diverticulitis
Apollo Medicine, 2018 Colonic diverticula and related complications are common pathologies in elderly patients. In older patients, colonic diverticulum perforation is more common in the sigmoid colon, whereas right colon diverticulum perforation is rather rare.
