Number, depth, and location of inadvertent pancreatic guidewire cannulations and post-ERCP pancreatitis from multicenter real-time intra-procedural data.

Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is common. Although multiple pancreatic duct (PD) cannulations are a known risk factor for PEP, the impact of single cannulations remains controversial. We aimed to identify whether single PD cannulation is associated with PEP.

Adverse events, success, and tolerability of biliary endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with conscious sedation vs anaesthesia: a multi-centre prospective study.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is performed using anaesthesia or conscious sedation, though the effectiveness, adverse events (AEs), and tolerability of each approach remain unclear. Thus, we compared these approaches prospectively.

Methods: We performed a multi-centre prospective cohort study including patients with native papillae undergoing ERCP for biliary indications between 2018 and 2023.

Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes of Clinically Significant Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Bleeding: A Contemporary Multicenter Study.

Introduction: Clinically significant post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) bleeding (CSPEB) is common. Contemporary estimates of risk are lacking. We aimed to identify risk factors of and outcomes after CSPEB.

Intra- and post-procedural patient-reported experience measures and their correlation with post-ERCP adverse events and unplanned healthcare utilization.

Background:  Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) adverse events (AEs) are common, as is unplanned healthcare utilization (UHU). We aimed to assess potential etiologic associations between intra-/post-procedural patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) and post-ERCP AEs and UHU. METHODS : Prospective data from a multicenter collaborative were used.

Post-ERCP cholecystitis: Incidence, characteristics, and outcomes from a prospective multicenter biliary endoscopy registry.

Background And Aims: The incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of post-ERCP cholecystitis are poorly described. We aimed to describe cases of post-ERCP cholecystitis from a prospective multicenter registry with protocolized 30-day follow-up.

Methods: Patient- and procedure-related data from 7 centers were obtained.

Patients With Unexplained Dilated Pancreatic Duct Have High Risk of Biliopancreatic Malignancy Detected by EUS.

Introduction: Patients with unexplained dilated common bile duct (CBD) and/or dilated main pancreatic duct (MPD) on noninvasive abdominal imaging tests are often referred for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in order to rule out biliopancreatic cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield of EUS in this patient group.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted.

National survey regarding the timing of endoscopic procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, several questions have arisen about which endoscopic procedures (EPs) must be performed and which ones can be postponed. The aim of this study was to conduct a nationwide survey regarding the appropriate timing of EPs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This prospective study was performed through a nationwide electronic survey.

Utility of endoscopic ultrasound in idiopathic acute recurrent pancreatitis.

Unlabelled: Idiopathic acute recurrent pancreatitis (IARP) is defined as at least two episodes of acute pancreatitis with the complete or near-complete resolution of symptoms and signs of pancreatitis between episodes, without an identified cause. There is a paucity of information about the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in IARP.

Objectives: To determine the diagnostic yield of EUS in IARP.

A low-residue diet before colonoscopy tends to improve tolerability by patients with no differences in preparation quality: a randomized trial.

Background: The pre-colonoscopy diet traditionally involves 24 h of a clear liquid diet (CLD) in combination with a lavage solution; however, this preparation is poorly tolerated.

Aim: To compare the impact on the quality of bowel cleansing and tolerability of a CLD versus a low-residue diet (LRD).

Methods: We performed a randomized trial.

Mesenteric schwannoma: an unusual cause of abdominal mass.

Schwannomas (or neurilemmomas) are slow-growing mesenchymal neoplasms of the peripheral nerve sheath that may arise at almost any anatomical site. Mesentery schwannoma is extremely rare, with less than ten previously described cases. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman with arterial hypertension and chronic kidney disease with an abdominal painless mass of two years duration and an inconclusive pre-operative clinical diagnosis; she was successfully treated by complete surgical resection of the mass.
