PURPOSE: To valuate the value of goose neck snare in removal of foreignbody in endovascular system. METHODS & MATERIAL: Foreignbody removal in endovascular system using goose neck snare were done in 4 cases. In one case, a broken guide-wire was located in left subclaviar vein and in three cases, guide-wires were located in vena cava. RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in all four cases. CONCLUSION: Goose neck snare technique is safe and effective in removal of Foreignbody in endovascular system.

Many reports have shown that endoscopic polypectomy or endoscopic mucosal resection can successfully remove tumor less than 1.0 cm in size. However, most carcinoid tumors in the rectum occur in the submucosal layer so that the entire tumor cannot be completely removed via endoscopic polypectomy or endoscopic mucosal resection. Endoscopic mucosal resection can also cause perforation of the intestinal wall and bleeding. Due to these reasons, instead of these two conventional methods, endoscopic mucosal resection using a ligation device is currently being used for the treatment of rectal carcinoid tumor. Recent studies that used this method have reported that endoscopic mucosal resection of rectal carcinoid tumor by band ligation and the snare resection technique is safe with minimal complications and this is quite useful to completely remove rectal carcinoid tumor.

Duodenal Brunner's gland adenoma is characterized by hyperplasia of the Brunner's gland, which is usually found in a duodenal bulb as a pedunculated polypoid mass. Conservative management is advocated for asymptomatic small lesions, but in larger lesions causing obstructive symptoms or bleeding, either endoscopic or surgical removal of the mass should be performed. But an endoscopic polypectomy for a huge mass lesion, especially one having a broad base, runs the risk of bleeding, so to minimize this complication, detachable snare is used before the polypectomy. We have experienced a case of huge duodenal Brunner's gland adenoma was successfully removed by an endoscopic polypectomy with a detachable snare, in a patient with recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

The snare technique has been used for the removal of ureteral stents. If, however, a stent has migrated to theupper or lower pole calyx, snaring-due to close contact between the stent and the calyceal mucosa or narrow spaceof the renal calyx-is impossible. By using the second suare technique, which involves snaring the previouslyinserted guidewire, the large renal pelvic space can be used for the removal of a migrated ureteral stent. Wedeseribe two cases and discuss the safety and efficacy of this technique.

Most of subepithelial tumor (SET) in stomach is incidentally found during esophagogastroduodenoscpic examination. Even small gastric SETs less than 2.0 cm might have malignant potential, thus ambiguous cases should be removed and pathologically confirmed for optimal diagnosis and treatment. As endoscopic techniques are developed, endoscopic removal of gastric SETs has been reported increasingly. The endoscopic procedures for resection of gastric SETs include classic methods such as snare polypectomy or incisional enucleation, and more progressive and standard technique such as endoscopic submucosal dissection. For gastric SETs originated from deeper layer including muscularis mucosa, novel procedures such as endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection and endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) are now being introduced, and cooperation with laparoscopic approach such as laparoscopy- assisted EFTR might be an alternative option to overcome shortcomings of endoscopic procedures only and ensure more safe and complete resection.

Endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts is a new nonsurgical treatment modality. Among the cystogastrostomy and stent related complications, proximal migration of stent is rare and the correction of inserted stent into a pseudocyst is very difficult. We report a correction of an incidentally inserted pigtail stent into pseudocyst using a polypectomy snare.

With the improvement of the instrument and technic, the gastrofiberoscope has been used not only in diagnostic purpose but in therapeutic purpose. One purpose of the therapeutic methods is to remove the gastric foreign bodies. So many type and shape of forceps and baakets have been usad. for the same purpose. ifn these easea, we uaed biopsy farcep and snare to remove swallowed toothbrushes, three casea in the stomaeh and one cuse in the duodenurn.

There are many complications following gastrectomy and one of the most frequent complications is anastomosis site leakage. Postoperative leakage is a serious complication in patients after they undergo gastric surgery. It can lead to the progressive deterioration in the patient's condition and quality of life and the mortality rate is nearly 60%. We encountered a case of a 75 year-old man who had the leakage of the jejunal end of the Roux limb after total gastrectomy. We performed treatment of the leakage endoscopic clipping and detachable snaring. Hemoclips were fixed at the margin of both sides of the lesion. A detachable snare was used to bind both hemoclips, so the interval was made narrow. After snare binding, five hemoclips were used for final closure of the small interval. After treatment, the leakage of the afferent loop end was completely stopped. He resumed an oral intake and was discharged without complications.
