Take the new quiz: A 51-year-old woman undergoes a colonoscopy that reveals a granular-type laterally spreading tumor (LST) in the rectum extending circumferentially from 4 cm to approximately 15 cm proximally. What is true about LSTs? https://t.co/pDilZczZPo

@DrDShaikh Thank you very much. Yes, you are right — it may disrupt the mucosal integrity. In addition, the barbed suture used is an absorbable suture, so there is no need for removal

⭐️From Pascal to Poiseuille: A Physiology-Driven Approach to Epiphrenic Diverticulum

🎖️The scientific outcome of our epiphrenic diverticulum case — presented at #DDW 2025, San Diego and honored with the Best of the Best award — has now been published.

💥This work represents more than a technical description; it reflects an effort to rethink the pathophysiological foundations behind therapeutic decision-making.
In the light of the principles of Pascal, Laplace, Bernoulli, and Poiseuille, we explored how pressure balance, flow dynamics, and wall tension can guide endoscopic strategy.

☄️Different from our previous experiences, in this case we shared an approach performed without septotomy, aiming to restore intraluminal esophageal pressure equilibrium while enabling esophageal reconstruction.

🔭The physiological rationale, scientific framework, and clinical implications of this concept are discussed in detail in the discussion section of the manuscript.

💡In addition, we believe that integrating suturing strategies into advanced endoscopic resections may represent more than a technical step — potentially accelerating a paradigm shift in therapeutic strategy.

👏Grateful to all colleagues, mentors, and team members who contributed through discussion, collaboration, and shared thinking — because progress in advanced endoscopy is rarely an individual effort, but a collective journey.

🙇Sometimes in advanced endoscopy, the real limits are not defined by the devices we use, but by how we interpret physiology.

📚Guided by science, we continue to pursue more rational and safer minimally invasive solutions for our patients.

⭐️Where Is the Limit?
🎯Stricture Prevention After a 33-cm Circumferential ESD

🎖️Our study, which represents the scientific counterpart of the video selected for the DDW 2025 – ASGE World Cup Sessions, has now been published.

In this article, we detail:
✅ our approach to large circumferential ESD,
✅ strategies for stricture prevention after extensive resections, and
✅ the technical rationale of endoscopic suturing in this setting.

📌A case-controlled study with long-term follow-up and advanced analyses will be shared soon.
