Abstract Delayed gastric conduit emptying (DGCE) after esophagectomy for cancer is associated with adverse outcomes and troubling symptoms. Widely accepted diagnostic criteria a symptom grading tool DGCE are missing. This hampers the interpretation comparison of studies. A modified Delphi process, using repeated web-based questionnaires, combined live interim group discussions was conducted by 33 experts within field, from Europe, North America, Asia. divided into early if present 14 days...
Background: Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a known precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). However, reports on incidence and progression-to-neoplasm rates have been very variable conflicting. The aims of the study were evaluate characteristics BE its progression neoplasm in large homogeneous population. Methods: This was retrospective population-based with patients identified from 11 institutions through databases two centralized pathology laboratories. Demographics relevant...
Delayed gastric conduit emptying can occur after esophagectomy and has been shown to be associated with increased risk for postoperative complications. Application of a standardized clinical protocol including an upper gastrointestinal contrast study the potential improve outcomes.Prospective cohort all patients operated at two high-volume centers esophageal surgery. The included on day 2 or 3 All images were compiled evaluated purpose study. Clinical data was collected in IRB approved...
Objective The importance of early ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) in patients with acute cholangitis (AC) is controversial. aims were to compare outcomes those who had within 24 h from diagnosis and undertaken later examine the general prognosis AC patients.Methods A prospective endoscopic database was used identify all underwent 2010–2021 at Landspitali University Hospital, diagnosed (k83.0) or calculus bile duct (k80.3) according ICD-10 diagnostic codes. Tokyo...
Single-operator, per-oral cholangiopancreatoscopy (SOPCP) enables direct biliopancreatic ductal visualization, targeted tissue sampling, and therapeutic intervention. At Karolinska University Hospital, SOPCP was introduced early has since been extensively utilized according to a standardized protocol. We analysed the clinical value of in diagnosis treatment diseases single high volume center.All procedures performed between March 2007 December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Each...
Abstract Background Improved survival after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer emphasises persistent symptoms related to the surgically altered anatomy. The Swedish national registry of and gastric collects patient reported EORTC questionnaires OG25 C30 12 months diagnosis. These adress gastrointestinal specifically delayed conduit emptying (DGCE) according diagnostic criteria defined in an international Delphi consensus. aim this study is describe symptoms, DGCE a large cohort patients,...
Abstract Background Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the known precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Previous studies have demonstrated a wide variety of progression rate whereas no nationwide data regarding has been reported. The aims study were evaluate prevalence BE and neoplasms in BE, those large population based nationwide. Methods This was retrospective patients from 7 institutions who identified through database centralized pathology laboratory an expert center. Demographics...
Abstract Background The role of ESD on Barrett's esophagus (BE) neoplasia has been studied in some small series with suboptimal results, mainly due to positive lateral margins (LM). We started neoplastic BE 2011. Due early results because (LM), we decided start performing wide-field from 2015. With the new approach resection is performed, as described for colorectal EMR wider (5–10mm) free margins, after careful assessment. Our aim was evaluate feasibility, safety and efficacy wide field...
Abstract Description The optimal treatment for oesophageal superficial squamous cell cancer (SCC) is end bloc resection, that in large lesions only possible with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Resections larger than 3cm, the upper esophagus and encompassing more 3/4 of luminal circumference, are associated high stricture rate. That risk virtually 100% cases circumferential ESD. High focus had been given to preventive measurements such as steroids injection, oral or sheet...
