Aim: To evaluate the rate of adverse events (AEs) during consecutive gastric and duodenal polypectomies in several Spanish centers.
Methods: Polypectomies of protruded gastric or duodenal polyps ≥ 5 mm using hot snare were prospectively included. Prophylactic measures of hemorrhage were allowed in predefined cases.
Introduction And Aims: A high quality colonoscopy is key in preventing colorectal cancer, but the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) exists. The aims of the study were to investigate the incidence, characteristics and predictive factors of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC).
Material And Method: A retrospective and prospective observational study was designed.
Introduction: In patients who have undergone partial gastric resections, the difficulty of performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is increased due to the resulting anatomic abnormality.
Aim: To review our experience of ERCP in patients with Billroth II gastrectomy and other types of gastrectomy (Billroth I and indeterminate) in our center.
Material And Methods: We included all patients with Billroth II gastrectomy or other types of gastrectomy undergoing ERCP in a 19-year period.
Introduction: Pneumatic dilation and surgical myotomy are currently the procedures of choice to treat achalasia. The selection of one or other treatment depends on the experience of each center and patient preferences.
Background And Aims: To review the experience of pneumatic dilation in patients with achalasia in our center.
Background: in recent years many factors have been shown to influence dose received by the patient during ERCP. Therefore it is necessary to update radio induced cancer risk.
Objectives: to calculate lifetime attributable risk of cancer during ERCP.
Background And Aims: An evaluation is made of the utility of fecal calprotectin in predicting relapse in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The possible differences in its predictive capacity in Crohn's disease (CD) versus ulcerative colitis (UC), and the different phenotypes, are also examined.
Methods: This is a prospective study with 135 patients diagnosed with IBD in clinical remission for at least 3 months.
Background And Objectives: Before starting programs for colorectal cancer screening it is necessary to evaluate the quality of colonoscopy. Our objectives were to develop a group of quality indicators of colonoscopy easily applicable and to determine the variability of their achievement.
Patients And Methods: After reviewing the bibliography we prepared 21 potential indicators of quality that were submitted to a process of selection in which we measured their facial validity, content validity, reliability and viability of their measurement.
Background: Placement of nasoenteral feeding tubes can require endoscopic support.
Aim: To analyze the usefulness of transnasal ultrathin endoscopy in the placement of nasoenteral feeding tubes.
Patients And Methods: We performed an ambispective study of all patients who underwent nasoenteral feeding (4.
Background: There is scant information on the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients under 18.
Objective: To analyze our experience in all patients under 18 who underwent ERCP.
Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all ERCP conducted in patients under 18 between 1993 and 2006.
Isolated oesophageal involvement of Crohn's disease.

October 2003
A 31-year-old male was admitted with complaints of dysphagia and odynophagia. An upper gastrointestinal tract series revealed inflammatory changes in the mid and distal oesophagus with intramural extravasation of the barium. An upper endoscopy showed multiple ulcerations and inflammation.

Methods: Patients 90 years of age or older who underwent ERCP from January 1993 to September 2001 were studied retrospectively.
Results: A total of 126 patients underwent 147 ERCP procedures (range 1-5 per patient).
