Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) has emerged as a minimally invasive therapeutic option for patients who cannot undergo traditional retrograde access to the pancreatic duct due to difficulties in cannulation or surgically altered anatomy. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the overall outcomes and safety of EUS-PD.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of major databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Science Citation Index, up until October 2023. The meta-analysis focused on technical and clinical success rates, as well as the overall adverse event (AE) rate.
Results: A total of 27 trials involving 902 patients were included in the study. The cumulative rate of technical success is 89%, and the clinical success is 88%, whereas the AE rate was 17%. The most common AE observed was post-EUS-PD acute pancreatitis, with a rate of 3%. In addition, the cumulative rates of bleeding, perforation, pancreatic leak, and infection were 2%, 2%, 1%, and 1%, respectively.
Conclusion: EUS-PD demonstrates highly favorable technical and clinical success rates, alongside acceptable AE rates, making it a highly effective procedure.

Sump Syndrome: A Rare Complication of Choledochojejunostomy.

Gastroenterology, Medica Superspecialty Hospital, Kolkata, IND.
Before the period of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), individuals with biliary tract diseases would undergo side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy, and sump syndrome used to develop as a complication of this procedure. There is retention of bile along with debris or calculi, and refluxed duodenal contents in the common bile duct, which leads to biliary and pancreatic complications. This syndrome's pathophysiology often results when the distal common bile duct below the anastomosis becomes a blind pouch (), leading to stasis of bile, food debris, and bacteria, which can lead to obstruction and infection.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of durvalumab and tremelimumab (Dur/Tre) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who had a tumor thrombus in the main portal vein trunk (Vp4) or high tumor burden (HTB).
Methods: A total of 309 patients with BCLC stage B or C HCC who received Dur/Tre between March 2023 and October 2024 were included. HTB was defined as the presence of at least one of the following radiological findings: ≥ 50% liver involvement by HCC, bile duct invasion, or the presence of Vp4.
Acute Obstructive Jaundice Secondary to Surgical Clip Migration Into the Common Bile Duct 12 Years Following Laparoscopic Liver Resection: A Case Report.

Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo, JPN.
Surgical clip migration to the common bile duct is a rare late complication, typically originating from clips placed at the cystic duct and most commonly reported after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present an exceptionally rare case of obstructive jaundice caused by clip migration from the liver dissection plane, rather than from the cystic duct, occurring 12 years after laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and cholecystectomy and associated with chronic biliary inflammation. A 73-year-old man underwent LLR of segments 4a + 5 and cholecystectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma and was discharged on postoperative day 12 without any complications.
