a
The 2 endoscopic columns represent a division between the first 7 endoscopic cases followed by data on the entire endoscopic cohort (20 cases). As such, all patients in the endoscopic N = 7 column are included in the N = 20 column as well.
b
The first P value represents column 1 versus column 2, with the second representing 1 versus 3.
