Endoscopy
Endoscopy means looking inside and typically refers to looking inside the body for medical reasons using an endoscope, an instrument used to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Unlike most other medical imaging techniques, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ.
There are many different types of endoscope, and depending on the site in the body and the type of procedure, endoscopy may be performed by a doctor or a surgeon, and the patient may be fully conscious or anaesthetised. Most often the term endoscopy is used to refer to an examination of the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, known as an Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy. |

Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early rectal neoplasia: experience from a European center Andreas Probst, Alanna Ebigbo, Bruno Märkl et al.
German investigators prospectively evaluated endoscopic submucosal dissection for the treatment of 302 large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps over a 11.5-year period. Of these, 17% harbored invasive cancer but most lesions were benign. R0 resection rates for benign lesions improved from 55% to 85 %. The results progressively improved and a learning effect was shown especially for the curative resection rate for submucosal invasive cancers.
