Gastroscopic removal of a giant fibrovascular polyp from the esophagus.

ABSTRACT: Giant polyps in the esophagus are rarely occurring benign tumors and may contain lipomas, fibrovascular polyps, fibrolipomas or neurofibromas polyps. Clinical symptoms include dysphagia, vomiting, retrosternal pain, shortness of breath, and asthma. In some cases, the polyps are regurgitated into the oral cavity and represent a spectacular manifestation. The reported case in this study was of a 50-year-old man who complained of emesia for half a year and dysphagia for one month before being hospitalized. Occasionally, a fleshly mass reached into his mouth. The results of endoscopic ultrasonography, barium swallow in the upper digestive tract, and a computed tomography scan demonstrated a giant polyp in the esophagus, which was subsequently removed by gastroscopy. Pathological examination determined a fibrovascular polyp.

Removal of giant spherical foreign body in the esophagus by double-forceps endoscope and double balloon.

Project description:In patients with esophageal foreign bodies such as spherical or similarly shaped objects, a clamp or trap can easily fall off when the esophagus is physiologically narrow during removal of the foreign body by the endoscope. In the present case, a double-forceps-channel endoscope and double balloon were used to successfully remove a large spherical foreign body from the esophagus.

Giant fibrovascular polyp of the larynx.

Project description:Introduction Fibrovascular polyps (FVPs) are rare benign tumors originating in the cervical esophagus, and, rarely, in the hypopharynx. A case of FVP from the larynx has not yet been described in the literature. Objectives To discuss a unique case of FVP originating in the larynx. Resumed Report A 58-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of progressive dysphagia. Endoscopic exams identified an elongated polypoid lesion originating from the mucosa of the epiglottis and the right pharyngoepiglottic fold. Excision of this mass under direct laryngoscopy revealed an 11.5 × 0.8-cm polypoid lesion, histologically diagnosed as an FVP. Conclusion The location of this FVP is important because, despite being a benign tumor, it carries a potentially lethal risk of upper airway obstruction.

Endoscopically Injectable Shear-Thinning Hydrogels Facilitating Polyp Removal.

Project description:Submucosal elevation, the process of instilling material in the submucosal space for separation of the surface mucosa and deeper muscularis layer, is a significant aspect of the endoscopic mucosal resection of large lesions performed to facilitate lesion removal and maximize safety. Submucosal injection, when applied, has historically been performed with normal saline, though this is limited by its rapid dissipation; solutions ideally need to be easily injectable, biocompatible, and provide a long-lasting submucosal cushion with a desirable height. Here, reported is a new set of materials, endoscopically injectable shear-thinning hydrogels, meeting these requirements because of their biocompatible components and ability to form a solid hydrogel upon injection. These findings are supported by evaluation in a large animal model and ultimately demonstrate the potential of these shear-thinning hydrogels to serve as efficient submucosal injection fluids for cushion development. Given these unique characteristics, their broad application in mucosal resection techniques is anticipated.

Endometrial Polyp Removed by a Manual Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal Device.

Project description:We report one of the first cases where an endometrial polyp was removed using a manual hysteroscopic tissue removal (HTR) device. The case showed its feasibility with potential reduction in the required setup time and tubing required compared to routine HTR device. This technique is ideal in the removal of endometrial polyps, particularly within the outpatient settings.

Recurrent giant fibrovascualr oesophageal polyp: Benefits and pitfalls of a multimodal approach.

Project description:Fibrovascular polyp of the cervical esophagus represents about 0.5% to 1% of all benign oesophageal tumours. Usually asymptomatic, when FP protrudes into the oesophageal lumen, this may cause respiratory obstruction and provoke dysphagia, vomiting, dyspnoea, and retrosternal pain. In this article, we describe a multimodal approach in the treatment of a complex recurrent FP, for which surgical resection represents the safer and less invasive procedure.

Polyp Resection and Removal Procedures: Insights From the 2017 Digestive Disease Week.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an important public health issue not only because of its high incidence but also for its high mortality rate. When CRC is diagnosed at an early stage, the 5-year relative survival rate reaches 89.9%. However, only 39% of patients with CRC are diagnosed at this stage. Screening decreases both the incidence of CRC and the number of CRC-related deaths. There are several options available for screening, and colonoscopy is one of the most common methods utilized in the United States. Screening colonoscopy is associated with durable protection from CRC. However, it has become increasingly apparent in recent years that polyp detection and resection have not been completely effective in clinical practice. Because the protective benefit of colonoscopy is variable, quality benchmarks have been established to improve its clinical effectiveness. The adenoma detection rate (ADR) directly correlates with the incidence and mortality of postcolonoscopy (or interval) CRCs. It is now routine to remove large polyps (?20 mm) using advanced techniques for endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Recent studies have helped identify which colorectal lesions are at higher risk of invasive cancer and would benefit from a complete en bloc resection. Such data may guide endoscopists in making a decision on whether to use ESD or EMR for removal of large lesions. An increased number of studies have reported on the efficacy and safety of cold snare resection, even for larger polyps. These data suggest that cold snare resection may be as effective, and perhaps safer, than hot snare resection for polyps up to 1 to 2 cm in size. However, data on the threshold for cold snare resection and the value of submucosal injectates are still lacking. Use of submucosal injection is generally preferred for larger polyps, particularly those located in the proximal colon, where the colonic wall is thinner.
