Abstract: The article discusses a study on cap-suction underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (CAP-UEMR) of appendiceal lesions. The study found that CAP-UEMR is a safe and effective technique for treating lesions involving the appendiceal orifice or ileocecal valve. However, there are challenges with incomplete resection and the risk of appendiceal cyst formation. The alternative technique of endoscopic transcecal appendectomy allows for resection of lesions both around the appendiceal orifice and within the appendiceal lumen. The study emphasizes the importance of training in endoscopic examination of the appendix to optimize the adoption of novel techniques for managing appendiceal lesions. [Extracted from the article]
