Infected necrotizing pancreatitis is a highly morbid disease with poor outcomes. Intervention strategies have progressed from open necrosectomy to minimally invasive approaches. We compared outcomes of surgery vs endoscopic approaches for patients infected pancreatitis.We performed single-center, randomized trial 66 confirmed or suspected who required intervention May 12, 2014, through March 24, 2017. Patients were randomly assigned groups that received (laparoscopic video-assisted...
Abstract Background The aim of the study was to compare outcomes patients with pancreatic or peripancreatic walled-off necrosis by endoscopy using conventional approach versus an algorithmic based on collection size, location and stepwise response intervention. Methods This observational before–after consecutive managed over two time intervals. In initial period (2004–2009) symptomatic underwent single transmural drainage placement stents a nasocystic catheter, followed direct endoscopic...
Background and study aims The aim of the current was to review outcomes a large-scale international registry on endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EGBD) that encompasses different stent systems in patients who are at high-risk for cholecystectomy. Patients methods This retrospective multicenter EGBD created by 13 institutions around world. Consecutive received several indications were included. Outcomes include technical clinical success, unplanned procedural events (UPE),...
Objective The optimal approach for removing large laterally spreading lesions at the anorectal junction (ARJ-LSLs) is unknown. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) a definitive therapy colorectal LSLs. It unclear whether it an effective modality ARJ-LSLs. Design EMR outcomes ARJ-LSLs (distal margin of ≤20 mm from dentate line) in comparison with rectal LSLs >20 were evaluated within multicentre observational cohort ≥20 mm. Technical success was defined as removal all polypoid tissue during...

In adults, foreign more in patients with underlying psychiatric comorbidity, the elderly, alcohol intoxication, prisoners. This reviewed management of presenting to tertiary hospital ingestion. Patients methods A retrospective review Melbourne, Victoria, was undertaken from January 2017 December 2021. Data collected included patient demographics, type body, length stay, imaging...
Abstract Background and Aims Strictures are the most common Crohn's disease complication, but their natural history is unknown. This study aimed to characterize inflammation, predict prognosis, understand impact of drug therapy using magnetic resonance enterography (MRE). Methods Patients with a stricture diagnosed on MRE over 5‐year period were reviewed for extent clinical course, C‐reactive protein, response anti‐TNF therapy, endoscopic dilatation, hospitalization, surgery. Results 136...
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is considered the most sensitive modality for local staging of esophageal cancer (ECA) and current guidelines recommend EUS in all patients with non-metastatic disease. Our aim was to identify a subset stenotic, ECA who will not benefit from EUS.This multicenter study evaluated consecutive newly diagnosed referred by EUS. All had endoscopic evaluation malignant strictures 9.8/9.9-mm diagnostic gastroscope prior Main outcome measure evaluate relationship between...
