Core Tip	The application of endoscopic full-thickness resection has enabled the feasibility of endoscopic appendectomy. When combined with choledochoscopy, it further enhances the accuracy of the procedure. This integrated approach offers a novel therapeutic strategy for sessile serrated lesions involving the appendix, potentially supplanting the combination of endoscopy and laparoscopy. Future validation of its safety and reliability will depend on additional follow-up data.
