Article Synopsis
- This study compared two alternative techniques, transpancreatic sphincterotomy (TPS) and precut sphincterotomy (PCS), for accessing the biliary tree during difficult ERCP procedures.
- TPS showed higher successful cannulation rates (86.5%) compared to PCS (69.7%), but both were lower than the standard sphincterotomy control group (92.4%).
- Despite higher cannulation success, TPS was associated with more adverse events (24.1%) compared to PCS (18.8%) and the control group (15.5%), with increased rates of pancreatitis and perforation in the TPS group.

Article Synopsis
- Periampullary diverticulum (PAD) is a condition that could affect the success of endoscopic procedures like ERCP, which is used to examine the bile duct and pancreas.
- A study analyzed data from nearly 67,000 ERCP procedures and found that PADs were present in 12.1% of cases, with different types of PAD having varying impacts on cannulation success rates.
- Specifically, type 1 PAD was associated with a significantly lower success rate in cannulation (80.1%) compared to no PAD (88.7%), but no substantial differences were found in the rate of adverse events post-procedure.
Article Synopsis
- A new surgery technique called minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) is being studied as a possible better option than the traditional open surgery (OPD) for pancreas problems.
- Researchers looked at data from hospitals in North America, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden from 2014 to 2020 and found that MIPD is used differently in each country.
- They discovered that more patients were getting MIPD over time, especially in North America and the Netherlands, but there were also higher risks of complications in some cases.
Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma located in the pancreatic body might require a portomesenteric venous resection (PVR), but data regarding surgical risks after distal pancreatectomy (DP) with PVR are sparse. Insight into additional surgical risks of DP-PVR could support preoperative counseling and intraoperative decision making. This study aimed to provide insight into the surgical outcome of DP-PVR, including its potential risk elevation over standard DP.
