| Core Tip |
Colonoscopy has evolved beyond diagnostics to serve as a valuable tool for therapeutic guidance in minimally invasive colorectal surgeries. Traditional preoperative tattoo marking for tumor localization carries risks, including ink scattering and challenges in dissecting the lower rectum. Near-infrared fluorescence clips, placed preoperatively, offer improved intraoperative tumor localization. Intraoperative colonoscopy enables real-time tumor identification, colonic irrigation, and assessment of anastomotic integrity, potentially reducing the risk of leakage. Advanced endoscopic techniques, including endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection, and combined endoscopic laparoscopic surgery, have broadened the options for resecting colorectal tumors and appendiceal neoplasms, supporting endoscopy-guided full-thickness resection. |
