Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there have been remarkable advances in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. These have ranged from physiologic advancements, such as our improved understanding of the pathobiology of inflammatory bowel disease and biologic therapy, to endoscopic advancements that are minimally invasive compared to conventional surgical management. Some examples include endoscopic suturing devices, which are used to close large defects or perforations; peroral endoscopic myotomy POEM for achalasia; endoscopic submucosal dissection and full thickness resection for complex GI lesions and early cancers; and transoral incisionless fundoplication to treat refractory GERD, to name a few.

With this Special Issue, we encourage all types of original research submissions, such as retrospective and prospective studies and review articles that highlight recent advances in the diagnosis and/or treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatology disorders.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background/Objectives: Endoscopic resection with lift polypectomy using submucosal injection (SI) for large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps is recommended to facilitate complete mucosal resection and decrease the risk of perforation; however, there are no studies comparing the safety and efficacy of large polypectomies with and without lift polypectomy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the polypectomy technique without SI compared to the routine use of SI. Methods: We performed a single tertiary center retrospective study evaluating all consecutive large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (≥20 mm) referred to expert endoscopists in polypectomy from 2018 through 2021. We collected and analyzed data on demographics, polyp characteristics, resection technique, complications, and polyp recurrence in 6–12 months. Results: In 200 large non-pedunculated colonic polyp resections, 110 (55%) were performed with SI. The median polyp size was slightly larger in SI (30 mm IQR [20, 40] vs. 25 mm IQR [20, 30] in no-SI, p < 0.05), with a range of 20 to 130 mm. There were no differences in delayed bleeding rates. No perforation was noted in the no-SI group, and five perforations occurred in the SI group, without a statistically significant difference between groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the polyp recurrence rate at 6–12 months between the no-SI and SI groups (12% vs. 8% in no-SI vs. SI, respectively, p = 0.48). Conclusions: Complete removal of large non-pedunculated polyps without SI is feasible and safe in this large series. This approach had similar rates of clinically significant post-polypectomy bleeding and a non-significant difference in perforation rate compared to polyp resection with routine use of SI. Randomized trials are warranted to further assess the safety and efficacy of this approach. Full article
