Started friday morning with organ-sparing partial appendectomy using FTRD for complete resection of an appendiceal pre-cancerous polyp.
Grateful to the incredible Methodist team and my mentors.

RESTORE (Rendezvous-assisted Esophageal Salvage and Transluminal Organ Reconnection) for Complete Esophagogastric disconnection with 3–4cm separation.
Procedure was successful in restarting oral feeds after 10 years + placement of endoscopic PEG tube for supplementation.

A fantastic evening at the TSGE DFW Regional Meet & Greet in Dallas! Great to see such strong engagement from our GI community, with over 40 physicians in attendance.
A special thanks to Dr. Andy Tau for an outstanding and highly entertaining Hemostasis Masterclass

Stone Case – Part 2
Impacted CBD stone and basket at the ampulla. Repeat EHL failed. Options were rapidly disappearing. Holmium laser lithotripsy finally fragmented the stone, freed the basket, and avoided surgical CBD exploration.
A fully covered metal stent was then placed.

Endoscopy is humbling. Failed outside ERCP for hard stone disease and distal stricture.
Balloon extraction failed, DASE failed, SpyGlass EHL did not make a dent, Spybasket broke and became impacted alongside stone with no wire access. Options?
