Hello Tokyo! It’s been 10 years since my 3rd space fellowship at Showa. Grateful to return for the next 4 months to train at Ariake Cancer Center — the world’s leaders for pharyngeal ESD. Excited to bring this technique back to North America and reduce unnecessary laryngectomies

Excited to be giving tomorrow night’s SCOPE Rounds talk on Optical Diagnosis. Register below and join the discussion!

🔎 Challenging GEJ Lesion with Subtle Margins At our recent Japan-Canadian Endoscopy Meeting (JCEM), we presented a tough lesion with indistinct borders. Magnification + IEE (LCI, BLI, acetic acid) enabled margin delineation and R0 ESD. 📹 Watch: 👉 https://t.co/Jxylqmycwu

Amazing Barrett’s conference in Nagano today. The endoscopic-histologic correlation was absolutely impeccable—left me speechless. A level of precision we need to strive for in the West

Just posted a new video demonstrating ESD of a nodular Paris 1s lesion in D2. Initial path: duodenal adenoma; updated pathology review showed foci of HGD. Watch the case here → https://t.co/gDEahSba0g

Medical education needs a reinvention. AI is not just changing how we diagnose and treat. It’s reshaping how we learn. At Scarborough, we’re building toward that future with new schools, simulation, and AI-powered learning Follow the journey: https://t.co/PIZgqe8DGx #MedEd #AI

Sorry all; correction* Endoclot Adhesive ** the Polysaccharide is currently available in the US

Honored to be the first in North America to use the new EndoClot Polysaccharide Hemostatic System. In the video below: EMR of a cecal lesion with prophylactic application of the powder-transforming into gel upon contact with fluid. Looking forward to future studies & applications
