Herein, we present an endoscopic repair of iatrogenic duodenal perforation by over-the-scope clipping system (OTSC) and endoclips in an 84-year-old woman that occurred during linear endosonography (EUS) examination. One OTSC and 8 clips were used for repairing the perforation hole. After 3 days in the intensive care unit (ICU) by chest tube and without oral feeding, she was discharged from the ...

Lymphoepithelial cysts of the pancreas are extremely rare, benign, nonneoplastic cysts that may simulate pseudocysts or cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. Endosonographic and cytologic features of pancreatic lymphoepithelial cysts are poorly characterized because of their rarity. However, appropriate prospective diagnosis of pancreatic lymphoepithelial cysts using endoscopic ultrasound-guided fin...

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) technology has evolved dramatically over the past 20 years, from being a supplementary diagnostic aid available only in large medical centers to being a core diagnostic and therapeutic tool that is widely available. Although formal recommendations and practice guidelines have not been developed, there are considerable data supporting the use of EUS for its technical ...

The majority of patients with neuropathic incontinence and other pelvic floor conditions associated with straining at stool have damage to the pudendal nerves distal to the ischial spine. Sacral nerve stimulation appears to be a promising innovation and has been widely adopted and currently considered the standard of care for adults with moderate to severe fecal incontinence and following faile...

This is an official guideline of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE), produced in cooperation with the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS). It addresses the benefit and burden associated with combined endobronchial and esophageal mediastinal nodal staging of lung cancer. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SI...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration is a multistep procedure that involves proper clinical indication, correct selection of needles, adapting evidence-based techniques such as the fanning maneuver and not routinely using suction or the stylet for tissue sampling, and establishing reliable cytopathology support. Integrating cytopathology in the training curriculum and developing ...

CONTEXT Synchronous cystic neoplasms of pancreas are a highly rare occurrence. CASE REPORT We report a very rare case of coexistent serous cystadenoma and multi-side branch intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). CONCLUSION To our knowledge, there has been only one previous case report in the literature of a synchronous serous cystadenoma and a solitary IPMN lesion. This case report...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS One can approach mediastinal pathology via esophageal ultrasound (EUS) and/or endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). It has been suggested that EUS is better tolerated by patients. If so, EUS might be the procedure of choice when suspect lesions are accessible via EUS. We studied procedural characteristics of EUS with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and EBUS with transbronc...
