Introducción: la colocación de prótesis metálicas autoexpansibles (PAE) por vía endoscópica surge como opción terapéutica para la obstrucción colónica neoplásica en dos situaciones: como tratamiento paliativo y como puente a la cirugía curativa. Este procedimiento evita cirugías en dos tiemp...
Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most prevalent cancer in the world, and the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) can be mentioned among the CRC screening methods based on the detection of occult blood in the feces, which may indicate upper gastrointestinal (UGI) malignancies; therefore, pa...
Background: Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) emerges as a less complex alternative to endos-
copic submucosal resection (ESD) for the treatment of colorectal lesions. We present two clinical cases of complex
colon adenomas resolved using UEMR technique. Case 1: A 56-years-old male patient w...
Introduction: Evaluation of patients' reports of characteristics of rectal effluents as a predictor of the quality of the colonoscopy preparation assessed by the endoscopist. Methods: A total of 270 patients, aged 18 or older, were consecutively included to perform an outpatient colonoscopy, for a period...
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignant neoplasm worldwide, with ~ 150 thousand new cases each year. Screening policies have brought significant progress due to the possibility of early diagnosis and polyp resection. Therefore, there is a need for continuous evaluation of the q...
Cold resection of colonic polyps is an important tool that reduces the incidence of colon cancer. Cold loop polypectomy is a safe and effective technique in colonic lesions smaller than 10 mm and cold mucosectomy with
submucosal injection is a growing technique for the resection of non-pedunculated lesio...
Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a key quality indicator in screening colonoscopy, closely linked to colorectal
cancer (CRC) prevention. Currently, the minimum recommended ADR is > 30% with an aspirational goal of >
35%; and the sessile serrated lesion detection rate (SSLDR) minimum is > 7% with an aspira...
Introduction: Colonic polyps and diverticulosis are common colon findings on colonoscopy. One of the risk factors of colorectal polyps and diverticulosis is the anthropometric index. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between the anthropometric index and colorectal findings. Methods: In t...
Introduction: Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery (TEM) is a minimally invasive method for management of different proctologic conditions. Despite widespread use of this method, it is not used widely in Iran. This report is about to describe the application of TEM in managing different proctologic conditio...
Serrated polyposis syndrome is considered the most prevalent colonic polyposis syndrome in the world. Its importance has been increasingly discussed due to the significant increase in the risk of developing colorectal cancer in its affected individuals, similarly to other well-known polyposis syndromes, ...
