Abstract Background and study aim Conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combines endoscopy radiography to diagnose treat pathological conditions of the bile duct. The present analysis was evaluate clinical economic impact use single-operator intraductal cholangioscopy (IDC), which allows for direct visualization duct, as an alternative ERCP treatment difficult duct stones diagnosis strictures. Patients methods consequences IDC were evaluated using two...
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate a new computational histology prediction system based on colorectal polyp textural surface patterns using high definition white light images. Methods Textural elements (textons) were characterized according their contrast with respect the surface, shape, and number of bifurcations, assuming that dysplastic polyps are associated highly contrasted, large tubular some degree bifurcation. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) was compared pathological...
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection causes chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Although H. prevalence is decreasing worldwide, regional variations exist in Europe, with the lowest Northern highest Eastern Southern Europe (1). Changes treatment recommendations increasing available evidence have justified implementation of new since last Belgian consensus 1998 (2). Several non-H. species (NH.PYLORI-H), colonizing stomach domestic animals, also ability to cause disease...
Abstract Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) is an emerging minimally invasive technique that seems promising for treatment of focal pancreatic peripancreatic lesions. Our aim was to prospectively evaluate the feasibility, safety, technical clinical success extra-pancreatic EUS-RFA. Patients methods We collected data all patients who underwent EUS-RFA at two Belgian academic centers from June 2018 February 2022. Feasibility, adverse events...
<b>Background and study aims:</b> Various techniques using surgical natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) have been evaluated to create a gastrojejunal bypass. The aim of the current was determine safety, feasibility, efficacy new technique pure approach tissue-apposing stent placement for anastomosis (GJA). <b>Materials methods: </b>This prospective, experimental on six live pigs weighing 20 – 45 kg. Endoscopies were performed double-channel gastroscope, included creation...
The role of colorectal neoplasms (CRN) as a common potential source recurrent Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. (SGG) and Enterococcus faecalis (EF) endocarditis remains unstudied. We aimed to investigate what proportion episodes are caused by succession SGG EF, or vice versa, assess the colonic in such episodes.we conducted retrospective analysis two prospective cohorts (1979-2019) from Spanish hospitals, providing descriptive analyses major features episodes, colonoscopy findings,...
<b>Background and study aims:</b> To assess experimentally endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection (ESTD) as an alternative technique of resection. <b>Patients methods:</b> This was a prospective, randomized, comparative experimental animal carried out over period 9 months at the surgical research teaching center Aix-Marseille University, France. Virtual esophageal gastric lesions measuring 3 cm in diameter were resected pigs weighing 25 to 30 kg. The primary aim evaluate ESTD's efficacy...
Background and study aims Recent evidence suggests that lugol chromoendoscopy (LCE) narrow-band imaging (NBI) have comparable sensitivity for detection of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, LCE is time-consuming associated with side effects. The aim this was to compare the effectiveness NBI in defining resection margins SCC. Patients methods This a retrospective observational cohort patients SCC dysplasia who underwent en-bloc between 1999 2017 at Cliniques...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC) in gastric mucosa accurately identifies patients without <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> (<i>H pylori</i>) infection. The aim our study was to evaluate the reproducibility RAC using white light endoscopy magnification, a European country, and assess impact proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A multicenter prospective with image capture...
Abstract Background and study aims Endoscopic resection requires use of submucosal injection. This was conducted to assess efficacy impact on early healing hyaluronic acid combined with chondroitin sulfate poloxamer 407 (Ziverel) when used as a solution for Materials methods Prospective comparative gastric endoscopic mucosal (EMR) three groups two Yorkshire pigs. Six cushions were created in each animal by injecting 2 mL Ziverel (Group 1) or succinylated gelatin (SG) 2), enabling 12 EMR...
Aims Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the major cause of gastritis and gastritis-associated diseases. Endoscopic detection a regular arrangement collecting venules (RAC) pattern in lesser gastric curvature correlates with negative HP status Asian countries when using magnification endoscopes. The aim study was to evaluate value RAC as diagnostic method infection during non-magnification white-light endoscopy Western countries.
Aims We evaluated efficacy and safety of single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (SBE-ERCP) as first line therapy in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients. In case failure, second endoscopic based on EUS-transgastric (EDGE), percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) or laparoscopy-assisted (LA-ERCP) was performed.
