Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a safe technique, but it is limited to mucosal lesions only. Frequently, it is not possible to retrieve the specimen in one piece but in two or more fragments (piecemeal resection) which is not desirable from the oncological point of view.
8.4.3.3 Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection
Some years ago, endoscopists developed a technique to perform even deeper excisions: endoscopic submucosal dissection (
Fig. 8.22) [11].

Endoscopic submucosa dissection (ESD) is a step forward to better oncological results, but it is more complication-prone than EMR. It is becoming increasingly more popular since with specially designed instru­ments the management of complications (bleeding, perforation) could be significantly improved
[12,13].

8.4.4 Endoscopic Interventions on the Bile Duct (ERCP)

Since 1973, ERCP completely lost the role of a diagnostic tool, since magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic ultrasound examination (EUS) render comparable information and are less risky.
However, ERCP became indispensable for the treatment of pancreatobiliary disease (
Fig. 8.23). The range of ERCP-based

therapeutic approaches is wide: beginning with the removal of bile duct stones (
Fig. 8.24), it includes stenting of benign and malignant narrowings
(stenosis) of the duct, photodynamic therapy, and the treatment of iatro­genic bile duct injuries.

As soon as it is positioned precisely in its future place, it is expanded to its maximum diame­ter (thus, losing length). Finally, the delivery system is removed and the GI transit restored. All from MITI.
ERCP is performed with dedicated, side-viewing endoscopes with a
special lever to navigate the bile duct probes (see
Section 8.1.2: Side-
Viewing Duodenoscopes).
The full therapeutic potential of ERCP has certainly not yet been fully exploited. BME is invited to provide even more advanced tools to promote further this extremely elegant approach.

8.4.5 Gastrointestinal Stenting

Luminal obstruction in the GI tract always leads to dramatic consequences for the patient. If untreated, it results in starvation if the obstruction is located in the upper GI tract, and in sudden death following the ileus in the lower GI tract. As an alternative to (palliative) surgery, interventional endoscopy can now offer dilatation and stenting. Esophageal, duodenal, bile duct, and colonic obstructions can be handled today with dedicated stents
[14] (Fig. 8.25).
Stenting often provides immediate help ( cal situations, it is a valuable tool for palliation.
The use of stents is not only confined to the esophagus. Stents are helpful as well in duodenal or colonic obstruction.
8.4.5.1 Bougienage and Balloon Dilatation
Narrowings of the GI lumen (stenoses) due to scar formation or tumor­ous lesions can be reopened and widened by the so-called “bougienage” maneuver.

Under radiographic control, a guidewire is positioned over the steno­sis. Bougies of increasing diameter are then passed over the guidewire to expand the internal diameter (
Fig. 8.27).
Frequently, a stent is finally positioned to secure the recanalization (see
Section 8.4.5: Gastrointestinal Stenting). In case of muscular obstruction,
bougienage is not helpful to eliminate the barrier. In these cases, pneu­matic dilatation may be helpful.

8.4.6 Outlook

The breathtaking evolvement of interventional endoscopy will continue, supported by technological developments, which are, among others, also stimulated by NOTES (
Fig. 8.28).

It may be even assumed that the winning run of therapeutic flexible
endoscopy is just beginning—presuming innovative new tools

CHAPTER 9
Combined Laparoscopic­Endoscopic Procedures and Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES)
In the previous chapters it has been shown how successfully visceral diseases can be treated either by conventional/laparoscopic surgery or interventional endoscopy.
In the following chapter it is demonstrated how the strict borders between both disciplines are gradually vanishing. A closer cooperation opens up new dimensions of trauma reduction in the interventional treat­ment of gastrointestinal diseases (
Simultaneously to the development in laparoscopy, endoluminal flexi­ble endoscopy changed from a diagnostic tool to an interventional thera­peutic approach. Initially, this was regarded critically by surgeons, since new competitors were suspected. The first major endoscopic therapeutic intervention—endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatoscopy (ERCP)— had been introduced into clinical care in 1973, which was well before the era of minor access surgery. ERCP rapidly made the corresponding surgi­cal technique—open bile duct exploration—obsolete. Benign and early colonic tumors—formerly a domain of surgical resection—could now be removed safely and fast by colonoscopic polypectomy in outpatients. The clear distance between endoscopists and surgeons was gradually overcome with the introduction of laparoscopy, in particular laparoscopic cholecys­tectomy. The option to remove bile duct stones by ERCP and papillot­omy beforehand and to confine surgery to the resection of the gallbladder was a precondition of the success of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, since laparoscopic treatment of bile duct stones was still technically impossible at that time. In addition, interventional gastroenterologists could help in case of surgically induced bile duct lesions, which were not infrequent in the beginning of laparoscopic surgery. Bile leakage could be sealed by stents or str ictures could be dilated which helped to avoid revisional

surgery. The difficult relations between gastroenterologist and surgeon were increasingly replaced with a cooperative attitude (
Fig. 9.2).
Beyond that, it has become clear during the last few years that both lap­aroscopy as well as flexible interventional endoscopy suffer from immanent limitations. One important shortcoming of laparoscopic surgery is that no information is available about the conditions beyond the surface. Precise localization of endoparenchymatous or endoluminal lesions is impossible.
Interventional endoscopy is primarily confined to endoluminal activi­ties. Additional shortcomings are the difficult hemostases in the case of major bleeding or the management of wall perforation.
Soon, the idea came up to combine laparoscopy and endoscopy to compensate for the shortcomings of either method.
By approaching the respective lesion from both sides, the potential of both methods can be used synergetically. The first clinical reports appeared in the early 1990s
[1,2].
353Combined Laparoscopic-Endoscopic Procedures and NOTES
The concept became rapidly popular all over the world and soon became known as combined laparoscopic-endoscopic procedures (CLEP) with the synonyms “hybrid visceral surgery” or “rendezvous surgery”
The next step is an even more intensive melange of surgical and flexi­ble endoluminal endoscopy: natural orifice transluminal endoscopic sur­gery (NOTES). To enter the abdominal cavity, an opening through the wall of the gastrointestinal tract is created and a flexible endoscope is used to perform the surgical manipulation from within in order to avoid visible scars. These two innovative approaches are the subjects of the next sections.
[3,4].

9.1 COMBINED LAPAROSCOPIC-ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURES (CLEP)

The idea is to perform both laparoscopic surgery and endoluminal endos­copy simultaneously during the respective intervention. This sounds easy, but a number of technical preconditions have to be fulfilled before.
(Laparoscopic) surgery is performed in the surgical operating room, whereas flexible gastrointestinal endoscopy is usually done in the endos­copy floor.
This type of surgery has to be located in the surgical OR, since the endoscopy suite does not offer suitable conditions to carry out laparo­scopic intervention. Accordingly, the surgical OR has to be equipped with an endoluminal (flexible) endoscopy unit. Adequate education of the surgical OR staff in the use of flexible endoscopy is indispensable.
The position of the laparoscopic team and of the endoscopist depends upon the site of the lesion which has to be treated.
In case of upper GI tract surgery, esophagogastroduodenoscopy is required. Colonoscopy is suitable to assist colonic surgery. Depending upon the intervention, the endoscopist is located either at the head of the patient or between the patient’s legs. Care has to be taken that both the surgical team as well as the endoscopist have a good insight into not only their own anatomical site but also into that of their respective partner (
Fig. 9.3).

9.1.1 Indications

CLEP can be applied with lesions for which local excision is adequate, but in which it cannot be achieved using peroral or transanal flexible endoscopy due to the size and location of the lesion. Another indication
