Article Abstract
Background And Aim: Interventional endoscopic ultrasound (I-EUS) has been developed as an alternative technique. To prevent these adverse events, sufficient tract dilation using by one device or double guidewire technique (DGWT) is useful. For application of the DGWT, we developed a novel double lumen dilator (DLD). This study evaluated the technical feasibility of I-EUS using the DLD.
Method: The primary outcome of this study was the technical success rate of DLD insertion into the target site. The secondary outcomes were adverse events associated with the procedure.
Results: A total of consecutive 19 patients who underwent I-EUS using DLD as dilation device between November 2024 and December 2024 were enrolled in this study. The technical success rate of DLD insertion was 94.7% (18/19). Mean procedure time was 14.4 min. Among the 18 patients who underwent successful DLD insertion, stent deployment was successfully performed. Stent misdeployment was observed in one patient during EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy, and the dislocated metal stent could not recovered. However, a plastic stent was successfully deployed by the DGWT.
Conclusions: The DLD allows DGWT and tract dilation to be performed as a single step, and therefore, might play a role in the safety and efficacy of the I-EUS procedure.

Robotic upper urinary tract reconstruction for ureteral stricture: a single-center series.
J Robot Surg
September 2025
Department of Urology, Rennes University Hospital, Rennes, France.
The surgical approach of ureteral stricture has changed dramatically over the past 15 years with the rise of robotic upper urinary tract reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of all robotic ureteral reconstructions performed at a single academic center for ureteral stricture and to assess the predictive factors of stricture recurrence. The charts of all patients who underwent robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction between 2013 and 2024 at a single academic center were retrospectively reviewed.

Acute Obstructive Jaundice Secondary to Surgical Clip Migration Into the Common Bile Duct 12 Years Following Laparoscopic Liver Resection: A Case Report.

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.

Avoidance of ionizing radiation during management of pediatric urolithiasis is imperative. Objectives are to evaluate feasibility of ultrasound-only-guided mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) in children and to compare it with fluoroscopic guidance. Randomized comparative trial (NCT03250559) including 60 renal units with stones >1 cm in 57 children ≤14 years.

Background: Pleural cavity decompression with surgical tube thoracostomy or placement of a pleural catheter is an integral component of therapy for air or fluid within the pleural cavity and a core skill in emergency medicine.
Objective: This narrative review provides a focused review of tube thoracostomy and pleural catheter placement in the emergency department.
Discussion: Surgical tube thoracostomy or pleural catheter placement is performed to remove air or fluid from the pleural cavity and can be a life-saving procedure with no absolute contraindications.
