In another time zone at Beijing Friendship Hospital – a large 1250-bed medical sanctum – the Chief Physician of Gastroenterology, Prof. Li Peng was ready and waiting to remove a mixed nodular type, colonic laterally spreading tumour (LST).

Because the lesion was close to the anal verge, SonoScape’s gastroscope with a 3.2-mm instrument channel (EG-550L) was strategically selected by Prof. Li for this ESD case. “SonoScape’s virtual chromoendoscopy mode “SFI” helped to identify the edge which was not clear and could be easily missed under the white light, and this was then confirmed by the indigo carmine spray.”Commented Prof. Li as he marked the lesion border. This was followed by the dissection process, in which he showcased a number of techniques useful when dealing with a problematic lesion: double clips and ring, follow-up submucosal injection to help with the internal traction and lesion re-elevation, using dual-knife to coagulate along with the cut, etc. The 2.0x3.0-cm LST was removed en-bloc, and defect closed in less than 45 minutes.
“For mixed-nodular LSTs, our treatment is usually by en-bloc removal. SonoScape’s system is versatile with its image-enhanced light modes, and its scopes excel in manoeuvrability. I am happy that a potentially difficult case went through so smoothly." The group of moderators in Egypt echoed Prof Li’s good sentiment: “Prof. Li has done such an excellent job. We are grateful for such an impressive case presentation from China.”
