In cap-assisted APC margin ablation after resecting a 7cm LSTG lesion, attach the cap to the endoscope tip. Position the cap openings distally. This allows air, CO2, argon, and fluids to escape during ablation and hemostasis.

For large balloon sphincteroplasty during ERCP, use a dilating balloon, not an extraction balloon. Obtain biliary cannulation, place a heavy guidewire, perform a small sphincterotomy, and inflate the balloon to create a wide opening for stone extraction.

Rule 1 for basket extraction: sphincterotomy has to be adequate. Wide exit first. Never size your balloon larger than the distal bile duct diameter. Know your stone, know your duct.

A tip every GI trainee should hear early:

When performing submucosal injection, don't just rely on preloaded syringes. Mix your own by adding a few drops of indigo carmine or methylene blue to saline.

Saline mixed with blue dye is a highly effective, low-cost solution.
