Cancer blockage: endoscopic bypass cuts repeat procedures
For cancer-related stomach blockage, endoscopic ultrasound-guided bypass was linked to fewer repeat procedures than stents or surgery, and a shorter hospital stay than surgery.
On-demand necrosectomy holds up in pancreatic necrosis
After EUS-guided drainage for infected necrotizing pancreatitis, immediate necrosectomy showed no clear clinical advantage over waiting to intervene as needed—and may expose more patients to the procedure.
Endobiliary RFA Benefits Survival in Unresectable Cholangiocarcinoma
Endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) significantly improves survival in patients with unresectable perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, particularly when performed shortly after biliary drainage.
Endoscopic Hand-Suturing Achieves High Success Rates
Endoscopic hand-suturing (EHS) demonstrates impressive technical and clinical success rates for closing defects, with a 96.2% technical success and 97.9% in-hospital clinical success across 338 procedures.
A safe choice for complex duodenal tumors: LECS shows promise
Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) is a viable option for managing challenging superficial non-ampullary duodenal tumors, especially those that are larger or more deeply invasive.
Redo Heller Myotomy vs. POEM: Key Insights Post-Failed LHM
Both redo Heller myotomy and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) effectively improve symptoms in patients with recurrent dysphagia after failed laparoscopic Heller myotomy, but POEM shows significant advantages.
Endoscopic Resection for Small Non-Ampullary Duodenal NETs Shows Promise
This multicenter study demonstrates that endoscopic resection of small non-ampullary duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs ≤10 mm) is effective, showing high en bloc resection rates, and low complications.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Offers Safer Alternative to LSG
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) provides moderate weight loss with a lower risk of complications compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), making it a viable option for patients, particularly those with existing gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Endoscopic Approach for Cystic Duct Remnant Stones Effective
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) offers a highly successful and safe alternative for managing symptomatic cystic duct remnant (CDR) stones in postcholecystectomy syndrome, achieving 95% technical success.
