Complications of colonoscopy.

TL;DR: ESGE recommends that the goals of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) are to achieve a completely snare-resected lesion in the safest minimum number of pieces, with adequate margins and without need for adjunctive ablative techniques.

TL;DR: Endoscopy services across Europe are recommended to adopt the following seven key performance measures for lower gastrointestinal endoscopy for measurement and evaluation in daily practice at a center and endoscopist level.

TL;DR: The 2009 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) CRC screening guidelines have been updated in this paper, focusing on the removal of adenomas and sessile serrated lesions and detection of early stage CRC.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided recommendations for the management of patients with acute overt lower gastrointestinal bleeding, where they assessed the patients' hemodynamic status with intravascular volume resuscitation started as needed.

TL;DR: Four perforations of the right colon occurred at a site proximal to the level of the impacted colonoscope, and manifested as distension with pneumoperitoneum or retroperitoneal emphysema in two patients.

TL;DR: Overall risk for perforation that requires operation or mortality after AC is low and virtual colonoscopists who propose screening and subsequent therapeutic interventions need to report high volume without complications as the perforations rate requiring operation was one in 1,246.

TL;DR: It was shown on the basis of the survey that a good, standardized training of the endoscopist, the strict observance of the contraindications, the non-use of analgesics and general anaesthesia, fluoroscopic control of "difficult" colons and the use of the best instruments and aids presently available, reduce the complication rate to a minimum.

TL;DR: Submucosal saline solution injection reduced injury to the muscularis propria caused by both heat probe and argon plasma coagulation, but not hot biopsy forceps.
