Article Abstract
In this editorial, we explored currently available strategies for reducing the occurrence of esophageal strictures following circumferential endoscopic submucosal dissection. This manuscript provided a comprehensive overview of the various strategies including recent insights from Wang . To this end, stenosis-related symptoms such as dysphagia and vomiting can severely affect a patient's quality of life. Therefore, we assess the efficacy of both reactive and proactive measures, ranging from traditional approaches like endoscopic balloon dilation and steroid administration to more advanced techniques, including tissue engineering and polyglycolic acid sheet placement. However, no single treatment has shown high efficacy, particularly for resections involving the entire circumference. Despite these shortcomings, the combination of different strategies may improve patient outcomes, although further large-scale studies are needed for validation.

A major cause of cancer death, colorectal cancer is becoming more common in younger people. The comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) as surgical interventions for mid-low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) remains uncertain. To systematically evaluate oncological, perioperative, and survival outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for mid-low rectal cancer following nCRT.

Large, circumferential tumors have traditionally been managed with surgical resection, frequently requiring stoma formation. Recently, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative, although its feasibility for large rectal tumors remains limited.

Purpose: Minimally invasive surgery offers reduced trauma, accelerated recovery, and shorter hospital stays. Robotic technology further enhances laparoscopic precision, particularly in colorectal procedures. This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of robotic natural orifice transluminal extraction colectomy (R-NOTEC) and robotic no-incision colectomy (R-NIC), comparing these techniques to the conventional robotic colectomy.

Background And Study Aims: Treatment of esophageal mucosal lesions by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) may lead to the formation of esophageal strictures. This trial was designed to clarify efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)-assisted steroids in preventing postoperative strictures after ESD for large and long-segment esophageal mucosal lesions.
Patients And Methods: Between October 2020 and July 2023, patients who underwent esophageal ESD with a remained mucosal defect of more than three-quarters of the esophageal circumference and longer than 50 mm in diameter were retrospectively analyzed.

Pre-adoption: Endoscopists performing upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy should train to recognize the appearance of early esophageal cancer and its precursor lesions, for Barrett neoplasia and for squamous neoplasia, to improve detection rates.Every endoscopist should have achieved competency in UGI endoscopy before commencing training in optical diagnosis in the UGI tract, and this requires personal experience of 300 UGI endoscopies and meeting the ESGE quality measures for UGI endoscopy.
Training: Endoscopists should undertake interactive training courses to improve diagnostic accuracy for esophageal preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions.
