A pilot study on anti‐reflux mucoplasty with valve as novel endoscopic therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Background and aims Endoscopic anti‐reflux therapies like anti‐reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) and anti‐reflux mucosal ablation have shown efficacy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in systematic reviews and meta‐analyses. Anti‐reflux mucoplasty (ARM‐P), a refinement of ARMS, incorporates immediate closure of the resection site to reduce ...

Antireflux myoplasty: Endoscopic myoplasty with bilateral sling fiber plication for refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Endoscopic antireflux therapy is a novel endoscopic treatment for refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease. We developed antireflux myoplasty (AR‐MP), a modified version of antireflux mucoplasty (ARM‐P), in which exposed bilateral sling fibers are sutured directly via endoscopic hand‐suturing.

Concurrent Diagnosis of Superficial Esophageal Cancer and Esophageal Achalasia: A Case Report and Literature Review

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We report a case of a 70‐year‐old woman with esophageal achalasia and concurrent superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Three adjacent superficial lesions were resected en bloc by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), with no lymphovascular invasion.

Opioid-induced Lower Esophageal Sphincter Dysfunction

Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2015
The adverse gastrointestinal effects of opioids have been extensively described in medical literature.1 Their effect takes place mainly on the enteric nervous system, through receptors in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses. There are 3 recognized main opium receptors (μ, δ, and κ) that are expressed in the central and enteric nervous systems, which ...

Complications of Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System: Review of 1205 Cases in 10 Years’ Experience

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System (EPSIS) is a novel endoscopic tool to assess lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function by monitoring intragastric pressure (IGP) through insufflation. While previous studies have confirmed its diagnostic utility for LES dysfunction‐related disorders such as gastroesophageal ...
