Recently, Professor Fan Zhining, the chief physician of the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Department at Jiangsu Province Hospital and the director of the Nanjing Medical University Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Research Institute, collaborated with the general surgery department of Changzhou No.2 People’s

In the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi pointed out that the implementation of the Healthy China strategy requires the improvement of the national health policy and the provision of all-round full-cycle health services for the people. Endoscopic experts in Chinese PLA General Hospital have put forward the classification of bleeding undergoing endoscopic surgery and classification of the injury of muscular propria. The classification standard will be promoted nationally, help the assessment of bleeding complications, degree of lesion adhesion, the precise identification of wound, so as to define the difficulties of endoscopic surgery and the level of the operator. All these will contribute to the formulation and standardization of treatment strategies for early gastrointestinal cancer in the future. New techniques of endoscopic diagonosis and treatment emerge.

The latest research result led by the endoscopic team of Oriental Hepatobiliary Surgical Hospital has been published recently online in the internationally well-known Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, titled " Influence of fully covered metal stenting on the risk of post-endoscopic retrogra

Pancreatic Diseases with Endoscopic TreatmentPancreatic diseases keep rising with high morbidity in recent years. At the same time, endoscopic operations are replacing open surgeries to some extent in treating pancreatic diseases. As early as 1983, stent implantation was successfully adopted clinically. We all know that biliary stents are recommended to treat malignant stenosis, and for benign stricture, it is lacking in clinical evidence due to complicated disease incentives; while stents play important roles in treating both benign and malignant pancreatic diseases.

The rate of successful operation for enteric stent implantation could be higher than 90%. With stent implantation, it could solve the acute obstruction and promise the patency of the cavity within short term in order to prepare for further operation. With 20 years’ clinical practice, the palliative effect of rectal stents got confirmation of worldwide researchers. Here we wish to give you some suggestions which are from UEG education and stent manufacturers. We believe they are useful and could facilitate stent release procedures and reduce pain for the patients.
