Patient History This patient was originally referred with nodular esophageal disease that was endoscopically visible at the Castro-Esophageal Junction (CEJ). The area was treated using combination Cryotherapy and Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMRJ. (Figures 1-3) Pathology of the EMR sample was positive for Adenocarcinoma (Figure 4) A subsequent surveillance ECD showed the previous EMR site, a ...
Patient History A 68 year old male being treated for short segment (1cm) Barrett's Esophagus (BE). During a prior exam, combination therapy for recurring non-dysplastic BE by Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) was conducted. The intent for this procedure was to assess the treatment area, in part, using the NvisionVLE Imaging System, and to ablate any recurrence ...

Abstract Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has proven to be a safe and effective procedure, with low rates of com- plications and mortality since its introduction in the late 1980s. However, surgeons have been working to develop alternatives to this technique to improve clinical outcomes and the level of patient satisfaction. Natural orifice trans- luminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is one such ...
