Endoscopic Hand Suturing After Advanced Endoscopic Resections - Early Outcomes of 31 Cases in Upper and Lower GI Tract.
Endoscopic Hand Suturing After Advanced Endoscopic Resections - Early Outcomes of 31 Cases in Upper and Lower GI Tract.
Endoscopic hand-suturing (EHS) has emerged as a promising modality in gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopic procedures. The available reports regarding its effectiveness in clinical practice are limited due to the relatively recent expansion of this method. This study aims to describe the single-center experience of EHS and its outcomes.
Endoscopic hand-suturing (EHS) has emerged as a promising modality in gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopic procedures. The available reports regarding its effectiveness in clinical practice are limited due to the relatively recent expansion of this method. This study aims to describe the single-center experience of EHS and its outcomes. The retrospective single-center study included individuals that underwent advanced endoscopic procedures in upper and lower GI tract followed by EHS. Defined features (suturing time, suturing speed) and outcomes (postprocedural bleeding, abdominal pain) were assessed. Thirty-one patients were included in the analysis.
