A NOVEL RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUE FOR LARGE COLORECTAL TUMORS RESECTED BY ENDOSCOPIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION: TUMOR EXTRACTION BY DEFECATION

A novel retrieval technique for large colorectal tumors resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection: tumor extraction by defecation

Background and study aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been developed to facilitate en bloc resection of large lesions.However, it is laborious to retrieve the large colorectal specimens.We propose a novel retrieval technique using a Valsalva maneuver, known as Tumor Extraction by Defecation (TED).Case series: A total of nine lesions

Sexual activity in macropterous and brachypterous males of a flightless bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera)

The long-winged (macropterous) and short-winged (brachypterous) adult males of Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) from temperate (Czech Republic) and Mediterranean (Israel) populations were analysed for the sexual activity and the functional activity of their accessory glands.The sexual activity of the males reared either under long-day (18L : 6D) or short-d
