We are pleased to announce that a paper by Dr. Tomona Sakurai,

“An improved handmade snare-assisted method to optimize endoscopic tip angulation”,

has been published in Endoscopy E-Videos.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41771504/

This report presents a modified snare-assisted technique designed to optimize endoscopic tip angulation.
By covering the device with an outer sheath, the method improves safety by reducing the risk of mucosal injury, while maintaining simplicity and reproducibility.

This technique may serve as a useful approach for improving procedural stability in technically challenging locations, such as the cardia.

Congratulations, Dr. Sakurai!
