ESGE Days 2023 – 20th-22nd April

Europe’s Premier International Endoscopy Meeting
The beautiful city of Dublin hosts ESGE Days 2023, an event providing an inspiring environment for the whole endoscopy community to interact, discuss, debate, and learn about the latest advances in endoscopy. It has a cutting-edge scientific programme that brings together live demonstrations, a wide variety of session types, specialized symposia, and hands-on training.

Our partners Jinshan will be exhibiting their exciting innovations in capsule endoscopy on booth 26 including the new Colon Capsule system – Omom CC with market leading image resolution.

And our core partners Fujifilm will also be showcasing the latest technologies including AI, Scope Navigation, EUS and the new polyp measuring scope, Scale Eye. And don’t miss the Fujifilm Symposium “Innovation of Quality in Colonoscopy: Detection, Characterization and Does size really matter?” on the 20th April at 16.45-17.45 (Wicklow Hall 2).

Does Size Really Matter?

SCALE EYE, real-time virtual scale to accurately measure the size of lesions in the colon.
When deciding on therapeutic intervention within the colon, such as resect and discard, EMR, and ESD, lesion size is considered one of the key decision making indicators.  However, it is not always straightforward to estimate lesion size in the endoscopic field of view.

SCALE EYE is the latest technology to be launched as part of Fujifilm’s ELUXEO Ultra platform, delivering a comprehensive package for endoscopists.

Fujifilm has developed SCALE EYE, a function designed to aid endoscopists in estimating the size of lesions in the colon. By simply pressing the endoscope switch, SCALE EYE is activated to support the endoscopist to determine the size of the lesion within the endoscopic field of view.

How SCALE EYE works
The SCALE EYE system includes the newly developed endoscope EC-760S-A/M, L, which is equipped with a class 1 laser. The laser point is visible within the endoscopic image. The position of the laser point changes relative to the distance between the tip of endoscope and the object. Depending on this laser point position, the scale interval size adjusts automatically.

The Cold Snare “Revolution”

In recent years, the use of cold snare polypectomy (CSP) for sessile colorectal polyps less than 10 mm in size has gained widespread popularity. With the ESGE guidelines also recommending cold snaring to remove such polyps*

With cold snaring becoming the standard for <10cm polyps it is vitally important that you have a snare that offers precise control, clean cuts and that will help achieve high rates of resection completion.

CSZ

Our CrossSnare Zero from Fujifilm (Medwork) offers perfect resection thanks to its unique Compact Wire Technology (CWT), optimal for implementation of the ESGE guidelines*

* Ferlitsch Monika et al.: „Colorectal polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR): European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Clinical Guideline“, Endoscopy 2017.

When comparing the CrossSnare Zero (picture 1) with a competitor snare (picture 2) it is clear to see the difference in performance with the CrossSnare Zero providing an effortless clean cut, leaving no tissue damage.

Better Quality to the “End”

Capsule endoscopy image quality redefined, further establishing colon capsule as a viable alternative to colonoscopy.

As the national colon capsule endoscopy pilot study continues in the UK, the evidence continues to support the use of colon capsules in intermediate and low risk patients with gastrointestinal symptoms. 

To meet the surging demand of early screening for colon diseases, the OMOM Colon Capsule (Omom CC) endoscopy system has been developed with the latest innovations including enhanced image quality, longer battery life and revolutionary AI powered software. 

OMOM CC aims to make diagnostic colonoscopy easier and smarter.

12th International Transnasal Endoscopy Training Workshop

The Workshop was a huge success with delegates joining from across the country. Thank you to course directors Dr Edward J Despott and Dr Alberto Murino, plus the expert faculty who made it such an informative and educational day for all those attending. TNE has never been more relevant than it is today, and the technique has an important role to play in helping to reduce the patient backlog.
