Article Abstract
Post-sleeve gastrectomy fistulas are a rare but possibly severe life-threatening complication. Besides early reoperation and drainage, endoscopy is the main treatment option. According to the clinical setting, endoscopic treatment options comprise stent or clip placement. New endoscopic therapies have recently gained attention, including endoscopic vacuum therapy, VacStent therapy, endoscopic internal drainage with pigtail stents, endoscopic suturing and stem cell injection. In this narrative review, we shed light on recent literature, developments, indications and contraindications of these treatments. Intragastric gastric band migration is a rare complication after gastric band positioning. Reoperation can sometimes be difficult, especially when a gastric band has already migrated far into the stomach. Endoscopic retrieval can be a valid, non-invasive therapeutic solution. We reviewed the current literature on this matter.

Collagenous gastritis (CG) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder characterized by subepithelial collagen deposition and lamina propria inflammation. Despite its first description over four decades ago, the pathogenesis remains unclear, with no standardized pathologic criteria/classification, treatment or established prognosis. A systematic PubMed search identified all English-language case reports, series and observational studies describing CG.

Early and accurate identification of upper gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies remains a cornerstone for improving clinical outcomes. Conventional white light endoscopy, although the standard diagnostic modality, often fails to detect subtle premalignant and early neoplastic changes. Image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) addresses these limitations by improving visualization of surface structures and vascular patterns.

Background And Aims: Surveillance post complete eradication of dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE) is important given the risk of recurrent intestinal metaplasia and neoplasia, however the optimal surveillance strategy remains unclear. This study aims to ascertain the yield of random biopsies of the neo-squamous epithelium (NE) and gastric cardia for detecting dysplasia.
Methods: In this prospective single-center study, patients undergoing post-endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) surveillance for dysplastic BE were included.

Duodenal anomalies represent a spectrum of congenital malformations that may present with similar clinical and radiological findings. We report a rare case of a congenital duodenal band mimicking duodenal atresia in a neonate. A primigravida woman in her 20s presented with polyhydramnios and suspected fetal duodenal atresia on antenatal ultrasound.

The patient was a 79-year-old male diagnosed with gastric cancer with lung metastasis(cT3N2M1[PUL], cStage ⅣB)and sigmoid colon cancer(cT3N0M0, cStage Ⅱa). He underwent systemic chemotherapy with the SOX plus nivolumab regimen for unresectable advanced gastric cancer. Six months after the initiation of chemotherapy(9 courses), the primary tumor and lymph node metastases in the lesser curvature and suprapancreatic margin had shrunk, and the lung metastases had disappeared.
