Title : New understanding about the concept of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery--ERBEC
Abstract:
As a vital component of gastroenterology and endoscopology, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery has expanded its technology from surface to depth, from inside to outside, from intraluminal to extraluminal lesions, and from organic diseases to functional diseases. We summarize the experience of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in the last two decades at our center, and in combination with the current development trend, puts forward understanding about the concept of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery——ERBEC, namely elements, reservation-resection, bilateral-benefit, expansion, collaboration, in order to truly benefit patients through new methods and concepts.
Audience Take Away:
Combining our experience and cases in the last two decades at our center, we put forward new understanding about the concept of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery—ERBEC
- Elements: efficient, safe, fast and simple
- Reservation-resection: organ/function preserving
- Bilateral-benefit: minimally invasive and user-friendly for endoscopists
- Expansion: expanded indications (age/disease/…)
- Collaboration: innovations in endoscopic instruments will likely make it thrive
To help audience to have a better understanding of advances in endotherapy and a clear picture of what they can do and how to do it in clinical practice.
