Quality vs Biology in post-colonoscopy colorectal cancers? “Molecular features associated with the sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) and non-polypoid colorectal neoplasms (CRNs) are more commonly seen in PCCRCs” #PCCRC nature.com/articles/s4141…

How to minimise risk of perforation in EMR? @NorikoSuzuki Use underwater technique & tighten the snare yourself to gauge resistance Use CO2, have good bowel prep & have clips (and staff) to hand Needle aspiration (using IV cannula) for pneumoperitoneum important Keep calm!

Poor bowel preparation is the leading cause of failed colonoscopy.  In CLEANSE we are evaluating #efficiency of a novel low volume preparation that can be administered same day (Plenvu) v standard regimes #BSGLIVE22 St Mark's Hospital @GIWolfsonUnit Sarah Marshall Brian Saunders

Postcolonoscopy colorectal cancer: Root cause analysis is needed since a third of ‘missed’ were actually detected. Stand-out risk factor is IBD. Units need to analyse their rates and feed back. ADR, adequate photodocumentation are key! How low can we go? fg.bmj.com/content/13/5/3…

AI-assisted endoscopy has arrived Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. Hopefully can be used to increase polyp detection and reduce the risk of developing bowel cancer!

Plenvu has the potential to make bowel prep much more efficent with same day dosing for colonoscopy. However, there is still room for improvement of the tolerability as Dr Ahmir Ahmad et al show in this paper. Norgine St Mark's Hospital bmjopengastro.bmj.com/content/10/1/e…

Calling all UK gastro trainees and ERCP consultants to help with a survey. Significant disparity is noted in number of female ERCPists in UK(currently 3-5%). This survey will identify factors to guide positive changes for good training in ERCP.@philaberry forms.gle/1rVj7LEWSo14Gp…

Fantastic talk by Prof Uedo who is eagerly trying to eradicate gastric cancers from all over the world! He kindly shared the link (free of charge) to learn how to detect early gastric cancers! #DDW2023 #GI Twitter

MILESTONE REACHED! "Resect & Discard" went live today in the NHS England BCSP for accredited endoscopists🥳. Marks the start of more efficient, greener & leaner colonoscopy. Huge thank you to the first Optical Diagnosis Champions-an honour to be part of the team delivering this🎉
