Please check out our review on @ACG_EBGI 🔔🔔⬇️ I am very grateful to Dr. @BilalMohammadMD for this opportunity. “ESD vs TAMIS for Early Rectal Neoplasms 📜📋Question: Is endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) noninferior to transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for preventing local recurrence after local resection of early rectal neoplasms? ❇️✂️✂️🔪Our Practice: Patient selection and local expertise are key factors when choosing between ESD and TAMIS. Large rectal neoplasms need special consideration because of the risk of submucosal invasion. In addition, rectal surgeries are associated with higher morbidity as compared to colon surgeries.

These are tough times for funding (understatement) Each submission is 100+ hours of work, with often nothing to show for it if it’s rejected Each submission is a passion project, for the love of discovery and desire to move the field➡️ forward 🙌🏼🔬💙

Honored to return to the @ASGEendoscopy Senior Fellows Program, this time as faculty. I still remember being a trainee here, and now coming back to teach alongside such top tier faculty is truly special. Great to reconnect, meet new colleagues, and share the experience! 🙏

Underwater EMR of a circumferential periappendiceal polyp extending into the appendiceal orifice. Key technical lessons: ▪ Be patient with underwater visualization—continue irrigating until the cecum is completely flooded. ▪ Adequate immersion allows the intraluminal appendiceal component to float into view, revealing the true extent of the lesion. ▪ Anchor the snare tip beyond the lesion, then gradually open the snare to capture as much tissue as safely possible. ▪ Before transection, confirm that the closed snare includes a rim of normal mucosa beyond the lesion margin. ▪ Carefully inspect the appendiceal lumen after resection to exclude residual adenomatous tissue. ▪ When closing the defect, preserve the appendiceal orifice and avoid clipping it shut to reduce the risk of delayed appendicitis. Key message: successful underwater EMR requires patience, complete immersion, deliberate snare positioning, and preservation of appendiceal drainage.

Incredible 3 days at #FLE! A conference linking generations of endoscopists and demonstrating the opportunity to carry from those before us. Congratulations @SVaradarajuluMD & @orlandohealth team for their impact as leaders in the U.S. & world in endoscopy! @wvudeptofmed

Some of us have the opportunity to place stents for patient care.. Professor Nib Sohendra made them. What an amazing opportunity to hear him speak at Florida Live Endoscopy. Learning the history of our field from the masters !! #GITwitter #Endoscopy

One of the biggest misconceptions about professional coaching is that it’s only for when something is wrong. In medicine, we readily encourage mentors, sponsors, and teachers. We should normalize coaches too. The best time to invest in coaching is often before burnout, conflict, or career uncertainty. Early in your career, coaching can help you clarify your values, develop your leadership style, navigate difficult decisions, and build a career that reflects who you want to become. Grateful to have written this perspective with @kehutchins77! 🙏 @AGA_GIHN for the opportunity to speak about our experience with coaching. ❓❓Should coaching become a more routine part of GI training and early career development?
