Event Description

Olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received a literature titled "technique description gel immersion emr (under-gel emr) for duodenal tumors - a new endoscopic resection method for superficial non-papillary duodenal tumors." literature summary: although the importance of endoscopic resection of duodenal tumors is becoming increasingly recognized, emr is associated with a certain frequency of bleeding, perforation, and other complications.In recent years, the usefulness of underwater emr, in which the lesion is flooded without local injection and resected by snaring, has been increasingly reported.However, some lesions are difficult to collect water in certain areas, and visibility may be reduced under water due to residuals.Therefore, there have been a number of reports on gel immersion emr (under-gel emr), in which the lesion is immersed using a gel to secure the field of view during endoscopic hemostasis, instead of water.This paper describes the method and prospects of this technique.Patients were diagnosed with adenomas by preoperative endoscopic biopsy or by endoscopic diagnosis.Fourteen patients with 14 lesions were treated with uemr and 15 patients with 17 lesions were treated with giemr.No perforation or delayed bleeding was observed in either group.Intraoperative bleeding occurred in one case in the giemr group and one case in the uemr group, but both cases could be stopped with a clip.No other serious complications were observed in either group.Conclusion: giemr is safe and useful for snadets, and the procedure time is reduced compared to uemr.Gel immersion may also be useful in ep for papillary tumors, including postoperative reconstructed intestine.However, further case series are needed because this study was performed in a small number of patients.Type of adverse events/number of patients.Intraoperative bleeding - 2 patients.This literature article requires 4 reports.The related patient identifiers are as follows: 1.(b)(6) - gif-q260j.2.(b)(6) - gif-h290t.3.(b)(6) - d-201-11804.4.(b)(6) - sd-210u-15.This medwatch report is for (b)(6).There is no report of any olympus device malfunction in any procedure described in this study.
