Clinical utility of a novel double-band endoscopic band ligation device for consecutive ligation in the management of diverticular bleeding [PDF]
Background and Aims: Endoscopic band ligation is effective for diverticular bleeding; however, conventional devices have drawbacks such as limited visibility, weak suction, and single-use design.

Underwater Endoscopic Mucosal Resection without Submucosal Injection Facilitates En bloc Resection of Colon Adenomas Extending into a Diverticulum [PDF]
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.

Giant Colonic Diverticulum [PDF]
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).

Jejunal Diverticulosis as a Rare Cause of Severe Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding in an Elderly Patient: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) that can present with life‐threatening hemorrhage. We report a 69‐year‐old male with recurrent melena, severe anemia, and hemodynamic instability requiring multiple transfusions. Upper and lower endoscopy were nondiagnostic, and CT angiography failed to localize

Laparoscopic sigmoid resection for a giant colonic diverticulum – a video vignette
A giant colonic diverticulum (GCD) is a rare manifestiation of colonic diverticular disease. It is more often located in the sig moid colon. It is defined by a colonic diverticulum greater than 4 cm in diameter (medium size 4–9 cm) and is usually ...

Prepackaged Low-Residue Diet "Clear-Through" Reduces the Required Volume of Polyethylene Glycol Solution for Colonoscopy Preparation: An Exploratory Randomized Controlled Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Large volumes of polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution reduce patient acceptance of colonoscopy. A prepackaged low‐residue diet (PLRD; Clear‐Through) may improve bowel cleansing and allow further PEG reduction. This exploratory randomized study evaluated whether PLRD permits decreased PEG with ascorbic acid (PEG‐Asc) volume while ...
