Introduction: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a promising technique for early-stage gastrointestinal neoplasms; however, its use for periappendiceal lesions poses challenges because of anatomical complexities and the potential risk of appendicitis or perforation. As a result, these lesions are often managed surgically. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the safety and efficacy of ESD for periappendiceal lesions.

Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review investigates the risk factors and outcomes associated with bowel perforation resulting from stent migration after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
  • Distal migration of biliary stents is common, but a notable number of cases can lead to bowel perforation, particularly in the small bowel of older patients.
  • Out of 132 identified cases, the study found a median perforation time of 44.5 days post-ERCP, with a significant mortality rate of 17.4%, highlighting the need for heightened awareness among healthcare providers.

Objectives: To review cases of ovarian cysts managed at a University Hospital, and to identify the factors necessitating the use of laparotomy over laparoscopy.

Methods: We carried out a retrospective chart review of all cases of ovarian cysts diagnosed and managed at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between January 2010 and August 2014. All data collected from medical record charts, patents details, clinical presentations, ovarian cysts description, and pathology type were recorded, and management by laparoscopy or laparotomy was identified.
