Endoscopic approach shows high success for pancreatic stones
EUS-guided pancreaticogastrostomy followed by pancreatoscopy is effective for managing pancreatic head duct stones.
Comparison of Pocket-Creation and Conventional Methods in ESD
Pocket-creation method (PCM) is a noninferior option to conventional endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric tumors, with lower subsequent surgery rates.
Percutaneous neuromonitoring cuts vocal cord palsy rates in thyroid surgery
A large study shows that percutaneous combined intraoperative neuromonitoring significantly reduces vocal cord palsy in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy.
