01/01/2015 - "Cap-assisted hemoclip application with a forward-viewing endoscope appears to be an effective therapeutic modality for achieving hemostasis in cases of ES-induced hemorrhage, without the occurrence of any severe adverse events; we believe that this method should be considered as an option in the management of ES-induced hemorrhage."
03/01/2015 - "The two-handed endoscopic technique that utilized a mounted rigid endoscope proved very useful and safe, since it enabled easy stanching of hemorrhages. "
04/01/2015 - "Remarkable other stressors could be identified during this study: the behavior of the supervisor or the use of the 45° endoscope, other colleagues or students entering the theatre, poor vision due to bleeding and the preoperative waiting when measuring the baseline. "
