Filter by:A new Magnetic-controlled Capsule Endoscopy (MCE) was developed by ANKON and got SFDA's approval in China in 2013. It has recently been evaluated to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MCE with that of standard gastroscopy for gastric diseases in 70 patients with encouraging results (In Press). To further testify the diagnostic accuracy of MCE for both the diffuse and focal diseases in stomach, we performed this single-blinded multi-center prospective study compared MCE with gastroscopy in patients with gastric symptoms and indication for upper GI Endoscopy.
Gastrectomy is curative treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC). Recently, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been accepted as standard treatment in selected patients with negligible risk of lymph node metastasis. However, there are limited data regarding the long-term outcomes of ESD in comparison with surgery. This protocol aims to compare overall survival rate, tumor recurrence, development of metachronous cancers after ESD and surgery.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of pCLE (probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy) compared with conventional chromoendoscopy (CE) for delineating the margin of early gastric cancer (EGC) with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
1. Compare the immune response and postoperative complications between pure SIDG (single-incision laparoscopic distal gastrectomy) and TLDG (totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy) for early gastric cancer (EGC) 2. Validate the safety, usefulness, minimal invasiveness and feasibility of SIDG (EGC)
There are clinical usefulness issues associated with bispectral index (BIS) for sedation of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, the clinical usefulness of BIS for deep sedation is incompletely described. The purpose of this study is to show that BIS-guided sedation is safe and useful clinically and may provide stable sedation status to physicians and patients.
Although proper sedation is mandatory for endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection, the effects of sedation on ESD performance and complications have not been fully evaluated. In the investigators previous retrospective study, en bloc resection and complete resection rates, and procedure time could be improved by sedation with continuous propofol infusion with opioid administration by anesthesiologists. However, there are several limitations to the study including retrospective design. The investigators aimed to evaluate the relationship among sedation methods, satisfaction of endoscopists or patients, clinical outcomes, and complications after endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric neoplasia.
Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy and stomach preserving surgery in early gastric cancer is less invasive method which can increase quality of life. For last two years, multicenter quality control study (Phase II) has been performed in Korea and tolerable results were observed. Based on these results, multicenter phase III trial is required to validate the clinical role of laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Confocal endomicroscopy (CLE) allows real-time in-vivo high-resolution and high-magnification imaging of the gastrointestinal epithelium, which is comparable to histopathology. Previous studies have investigated the accuracy of pCLE for diagnosis and differentiated of colorectal polyps, Barrett's esophagus and pancreaticobiliary strictures. However, to date there are limited data exploring the application of pCLE to gastric lesions, and this is the first study comparing the diagnosis of conventional forceps biopsy with that of pCLE using the final specimens obtained from endoscopic resection as a reference standard. The aims of this study were (1) the accuracy of pCLE compared to conventional forceps biopsy using histopathology results following endoscopic resection as a reference, and (2) comparison of "real time" in-vivo pCLE diagnosis with that of blinded "off-line" pCLE diagnosis, and off-line interobserver agreement.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the extent of gastrectomy and anastomosis type affect chronic metabolic disease such as diabetes and hypertension in early gastric cancer patients.
Laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy and stomach preserving surgery in ealry gastric cancer is less invasive method which can increase quality of life. Multicenter phase III trial is requred to validate this method. In this study all items which are necessary for laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy are identified according to checklist and evaluated the performance completement.
